The project for this class is to create your own watercolor splash! Voilà, that's it!

During the class I'll go through everything you'll need to know, including :
- The supplies needed
- Basic watercolor vocabulary
- Explaining the concept of the splashes
- Practicing useful techniques
- Step-by-step for our simple fine-liner doodles
- Two different ways of splashing out your colors!

The step-by-step document for the doodles are in the resources for this class. There you will also find a list of supplies I'll be using and some tips for choosing your own!

You don't need any previous experience with watercolor for this class, as it's all about playing with your paints and getting to know them better! That way you'll be better prepared to choose colors for other artworks at a later time!

So go ahead and find :

Any watercolor paints
Watercolor paper 300gsm
A round pointed paintbrush
A waterproof pen (or a pencil, if you don't have one)
Two jars of water

And you'll have everything you need to explore your paints! Let your doodles inspire your color choices or let your paints inspire your doodles, showcasing your favorite watercolors in this fun and playful way. If you find doodles and drawing difficult, there are wonderful teachers both here on Skillshare and on YouTube, to take the pressure off with step-by-step instructions. When I did over one hundred of these for the 100-day-challenge, I frequently used both (as well as Pinterest) for inspiration :)

I can't wait to see your creative splashes in the project gallery!

Please reach out to me if you have any questions at all and I'll be happy to help, either here or on Instagram @elise.aabakken :)
