Throughout the class, we will be practicing simple illustrations, and use basic supplies and colors.This will be helpful to prepare for the final project, a cute sleeping fox.

First, we will take a quick supplies tour, and then, we will explore 8 essential watercolor techniques:

Watercolor washes.
Wet-in-wet technique.
Wet-on-dry technique
Lifting technique
Layering technique
Softening edges
Splattering technique
Dry brush technique

Each technique lesson builds on top of the last one. This will allow you to practice new skills several times, with different projects. It will be helpful to understand how to use them in a watercolor painting.

The structure of the class will come in handy for your future projects, and the fox painting will be a great way to combine all techniques one more time.

To make the most out of the class, don't forget to download your resources from the "project and resources" section of the class :

And please share your project with us there. If you need any help or feedback, you can also use the "discussions" tab.

It's time to get started, see you in class!
