Watercolor painting can be elusive to many artists.  But in a step-by-step process of development, you will learn about different watercolor papers, watercolor paints, and how to get the absolute best out of the medium no matter what your skill sets are.  Foundational principles of composition, color, value, perspective, and other principles are incorporated and reinforced throughout the work and discussions.  You will learn a variety of principles about color, composition, shape language, color language, values, and the principles that bring a watercolor painting together no matter where you are in the skill spectrum.  Harmonizing colors without appearing contrived is one of the mysteries of watercolor that will be easily revealed to you, along with the knowledge of different brushes and techniques to give you more tools for your skill sets.
