In this class, you will learn the basic techniques of watercolor by creating a variety of liquid filled bottles. Maybe you want a potion bottle to fly or for invisibility. How about a perfume bottle? You get to choose your bottle, powers, colors and shapes. I provide the base bottle drawings, so you don’t need to be versed in sketching. Our focus will be on the painting and building up your beginner watercolor skills.

Watercolor is a fun and unique medium that can create a multitude of textures. What you get is all based on how you put down the paint, water and enhancements. Enhancements can be items like salt, tape, drawing gum, water droplets, plastic wrap or using a paper towel. Different combinations produce magical effects.

You will explore:

• How to drop different colors and clear water into each other to create beautiful water effects
• Tips on how to place colors next to each other without them bleeding together
• Laying down tape or masking fluid as a water resistance mechanism
• Using salt to create magical bursts of light
• Crafting Fantasy Designs with a Modern Take
• Adding waterproof pen below and on top of watercolor
• Fixing mistakes when your color goes outside the lines
• Creating depth through color variety
• Painting glass with gray

I’ll be taking your through all the steps as you grown your watercolor skills.
