Hello, my friend! Welcome to class.

In this class, I'm going to show you a fun technique I like to do with watercolors. I love experimenting with my supplies and seeing what fun things I can come up with while just letting myself go with the flow. Letting them lead me to where ever we end up. We'll play with watercolor and walnut ink in this class... along with some bold mark-making for some interesting abstract pieces.

This class is for you if:

You love learning new techniques for your art
You are interested in learning more about watercolors and making some fun pieces
You love experimenting with art supplies
You love watching how others approach their painting practice

Supplies: I encourage you to use your supplies you have on hand to do your projects. You do not have to purchase any specific supplies for this class. It is all about experimenting with the supplies you have and learning to let loose.

Watercolor paper - I Iike cold press watercolor paper about 140lb for most projects
A few sizes of watercolor brushes
Watercolor paints - Start with what you have in a few of your favorite colors
Walnut ink... or some coffee if you don't have access to the walnut ink. (or brown watercolor would work just fine too... but I like experimenting with different supplies so I learn how they work with each other.)
Some mark-making tools - pencils, micron pens, etc... your choice on these.

In this class, I have kept the supplies I'm using pretty simple... please start with what you have and add some stuff from there if you think you'd love any of the ones I'm using.
