About the course
Our 8 years of experience in live courses helps beginners learn watercolor step by step. It is logical to start with “drier” techniques, and gradually move towards wetting the entire sheet of paper. This algorithm results in beautiful, clean and artistic watercolor illustrations.
In 10 lessons you will learn how to draw a variety of flowers, even if you haven’t never held a brush in your hand before!
