Your class project is a set of 4 watercolour greeting cards.

You can follow along with me and match my paint choices, or go your own way and make a set using a totally different colour palette. If you’d like to do your own colours, feel free to skip the section on the paint swatches I will be using.

Materials Needed

1 sheet of 9 x 12 inch watercolour paper (I use Canson XL, 140lb because it is a common paper for students to use, so you’ll be familiar with how it behaves. Feel free to use any type of watercolour paper you’d like, cellulose or cotton).
Watercolours
Paint brushes (I will use one larger and one smaller, for details)
Water ;)
Paper towel
Pencil
Inking tool (I use a Pigma Micron, size 01)
Scissors (or another cutting tool)
Glue
Card stock & envelopes (or blank cards)
Ink and a dip pen (optional)

Directions for Drawing Template

Download your template from the ‘Projects & Resources’ tab. *
Print your template in Black and White, this is important, it will be too light if you print it in colour.
Further directions for using your template are provided in the class.

*If you are having trouble locating this tab (or your template), please note that it is not currently available in the app, you’ll need to use a computer or a tablet and find this class on the website. This may change in the future (I hope it does!!).

If watercolours aren’t your thing, check out my class on Oil Pastels. I teach students how to blend them easily using no solvents or oils. You can also come see my most recent work on Instagram, find me @humbeckstudios and say hi!
