Welcome to the watercolor fundamental flex class! 
In this class we will be learning watercolor fundamentals, explore our creativity, navigate perfectionism, and learners will create two projects showcasing their unique art style and watercolor knowledge. 

Who is this class for? Beginner to intermediate.
This class is for the absolute beginner who wants to build a solid watercolor foundation and for the learner wanting to strengthen their knowledge. This class is especially good for those learners that have been teaching themselves, but now want to be guided in their learning journey while still having the flexibility to work at their own pace. 

How will the class work?
This class will NOT meet live. Instead I will be posting videos for each lesson. You are welcome to watch the videos as often as you need. The videos will be released each week. I will be checking in each week. 

I will posting questions related to the videos. Learners will be expected to leave a comment or question. I will be replying to comments and questions during M-F 10 am to 5pm pacific standard time and will observe all US holidays. Outside of those days/hours I will not be available. 

Once we get to practicing techniques and projects learners will have the opportunity to share their painting privately to me or to the class. Each learner gets to decide what feels most comfortable for them. 
If a learner is commenting on another learner’s work please remember to be courteous and provide feedback that is encouraging or constructive criticism. 

What if my learner needs extra support such as a one-on-one in addition to the flex class? 
If they have questions relating to class they will need to message me or post in the classroom page. If a learner feels they need to ask questions in a live setting the parent will need to message me and I will send a link to a private session for an additional fee. I live in the US in pacific standard time, if you are in a different part of the world please be flexible in your request.

Classes: (You don’t need to have your materials when you start class! We will go over materials week 1 allowing learners to learn about best supplies. You will need materials for Week 2 and on.)

Week 1: Materials, using a brush, and water control
I will share with your learner all about the various types of materials available for watercolor. I will provide you with the list of the essentials. However, I want my learners to be well informed so I will go over various types of supplies that they could potentially use if they choose to. 
We will also go over how to properly use watercolor brushes and the care. We will also go over proper water control when painting. 

Week 2: Color theory
Learners will learn color theory. In this class learners will be learning not just how to mix red and blue to make purple, but how colors work together. This will benefit them not just in their watercolor journey but in other mediums such as acrylic painting, design, fashion, etc.

Week 3: Watercolor techniques and florals
In this week we will cover 4 watercolor techniques and variations of these techniques. In this class learners will learn not just how to make the techniques but why they are important and how they can be used to create!  Additionally learners will learn how to make loose watercolor flowers. They will learn various flowers and leaves. This will allow them to practice the watercolor techniques that they learned the previous week. 

Week 4: Discussion on style, perfectionism, and tapping into your creative intuition! 
We will discuss what art style is and how to honor your own style. We will also discuss perfectionism and how it can help or hinder us when we create. Lastly we will learn how to tap into our creative intuition! 

——Project week——
