Class experience
In Creative Watercolor Painting, young artists will learn a variety of watercolor techniques including how to blend and layer colors, using mixed-media to create unique effects, and "paint along" tutorials that will provide step-by-step instruction on creating a new illustration of their very own.

• Watercolor paint: I make a point of using the standard Crayola watercolors since most students have access to them, but I am familiar with liquid watercolors and can instruct students on the use of those as well. • Paint brushes: a variety of sizes and shapes can be helpful. • Watercolor paper: if possible, I recommend using actual watercolor paper as opposed to other art paper or printer paper. (I use Canson XL watercolor paper) Regular paper will suffice if watercolor paper is not available, but will limit the techniques we can practice. • Clean water for rinsing brushes • Paper towels • Crayons, washable markers, waterproof pens (optional)
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
