Your project is simply to create a watercolor landscape polaroid, choosing amongst the techniques and elements from class!

You'll have both the option to follow along with one (or all) of the ones I’m creating in the class, or start combining the different elements in a new way! And then of course you can even start adding your own!

Feel free to work with ideas from a reference photo you’ve found or maybe even taken yourself, or from one of the ones I’ve added in the resources to the right. The goal is to make it as easy as possible to start, not getting too hung up in perfection or having to know everything to take that first step!

The supplies you’ll need for this class are

Watercolor paper (300gsm cold pressed)
Watercolor paints
A ceramic palette or similar
A medium and small round pointed paintbrush
Washi tape or masking tape
A board to tape your paper onto (if you’re not using a block)
Two jars of water
A rag or tissue to wipe your brush
Pencil, ruler and scissors for cutting our paper

I highly recommend that you start out with the supplies you have already! No need for fancy equipment, here we’re all all about getting started and eliminating the obstacles (like waiting for the perfect paper or color ;) )

I’m absolutely convinced that you can create beautiful work AND (even more importantly) have fun while painting with any supplies, and with time you might realize you want a different color or another brush and then you can add on, but don’t let your supplies be what’s standing in the way of you creating!
