If you’re looking to start watercolour painting, I’ve recently created a series of introductory videos that take you through everything you need to know. From getting the supplies you need to get started, putting your first colours down on paper to more advanced techniques like using masking fluid and negative painting. Each session will take you through lots of tips and techniques and then there’s a full page pattern making exercise to explore in each one.
This video series is available for free on YouTube so all you have to do is find my channel, and look for the Watercolour Essentials playlist, or follow the links below to each individual video.
