Hi, I'm Lee White, and I'm a professional watercolor artist and illustrator. If you paint in

watercolor like I do, you may notice that it looks beautiful and easy when other people do it.

Then you try it and suddenly your water looks like swamp water. The paper's curling up like a potato

chip. Things go south pretty quick. I definitely know I've been there as I was learning and I've

the watercolor essentials workshop. Think of this as a survival guide for watercolor. What

brushes to use, what paints to use, what paper to actually use for the effects that you want,

whether you paint loose or tight. How do you keep your colors bright instead of getting muddy?

How do you get smooth flowing washes instead of getting rough marks or weird spots in the background, dark marks in your

skies, things like that? How do you paint without the stress is the real goal? So we're going to go

step by step in this class. We're going to keep it simple. We're going to build a solid foundation

so you can spend less time fighting with your watercolor materials and more time enjoying actually painting.

That's the goal. The exercises are custom made to build on each other and work together.

So by the end, your techniques and your materials are a perfect match for each other.

You don't have a ton of random things laying around.

You're not curious on what you're supposed to use.

You will understand exactly what to use and when.

This class uses recorded video instruction mixed with live sessions for feedback,

questions, and anything you might need, which worked absolutely fantastic the first time we ran the workshop,

the student's skill level, improved noticeably over the two weeks. It was just amazing. So if you're

starting out, this class will save you a ton of time and a lot of headaches if you're just a beginner.

If you've been painting for a while, you're an intermediate to advance. This class is going to
