Learning by doing is so effective!! Something magical happens when an idea turns into an action....

That’s why I encourage you to create a project whether you decided to share it or not.

In this class your project will be simple.

Gather your paints, paper and brushes.
Start to paint random shapes on your paper in the colors of your choice filling the page as shown in the class videos.
Or you can do a more planned composition by lightly sketching your shapes on the paper before you paint them as shown in the Shapes with Background video.

You can do both projects if you would like to practice with different techniques. The more practice the better! You can reference the Abstract Watercolor Painting- Backgrounds class for more instruction to paint your background here.

You are not required to share your project but I hope that you do. I grew so much more in my skill level when I started sharing and getting feedback from my fellow artists. You might even be better than you think you are!! It’s a bit scary at first, but when you get more comfortable with it, it’s much easier to call yourself an artist.

You can upload your work by going to the Projects & Resources page and clicking the green Create Project button. Please watch the My Project video for more instruction on uploading.

Please let me know if you have any questions in the Discussions tab under the class videos. You can start a conversation about the class with me or your fellow students there as well. I can't wait to meet you! : )
