What could be more magical than painting water with watercolor—using nothing but pure water, vibrant pigments, and a touch of artistry? In this Watercolor Master Class, we’ll unlock the secrets of the captivating “Drawing with Water” technique—a method so versatile you can use it for everything from shimmering seascapes and flowing hair to delicate nature scenes and soft, realistic details.

Whether you’re an intermediate or advanced watercolorist, or an enthusiastic beginner with a good grasp of color mixing and materials, this class will inspire you to push your skills further. Beginners can start with guided exercises to master the technique before moving into a full painting, while experienced students will enjoy refining their skills and creating a stunning seascape, a charming watercolor card, or even a gift for someone special.

We’ll begin by learning a clever way to create a neat white border—without taping the paper—so you can work freely in a wet-on-wet style while still keeping that crisp, professional frame. From building a harmonious color palette and mastering fluid layering to capturing the sparkle of sunlit reflections, you’ll discover step-by-step how to achieve soft, realistic, and captivating results.

This method, tested by many students, is a must-learn for anyone who loves watercolor and wants to bring more depth, texture, and realism into their art.
