We will be painting not one, but three watercolor pencil projects in this class: A lantern, a flower pot, and a door.

After going over a suggested supplies list and drawing simple sketches, we will dive into ten essential watercolor pencil techniques:

Several ways to paint a base layer, with or without pencil lines.
Layering, and why this is so important.
Many ways to add texture and details.
Additional options for a painting's finishing touches.

Working on these projects simultaneously will allow you to learn and practice each technique in a simple, digestible way.

You will learn when to use one technique over another similar one, and why.
For example, I'll teach you several ways to paint a base layer, with its pros and cons.
For your future watercolor pencil projects, it will be easier to pick the base layer technique that best fits your subject and the effect you are trying to achieve with watercolor pencils.
