Tangled Watercolor Swatching Exploration eCourse

CA$85.00

Do you have a new set of watercolor, but don’t know what to do with them? Have you been wondering how to use watercolor in your tangling practice, but are not sure how to get started? Wait, I only have a small set of colors (hues), how do I mix colors to make more choices?

Help has arrived! This class is designed to help you explore your watercolor palette and see the endless possibilities it provides. You will enhance your art practice by tangling in a journal, making space for swatching colors, experience combining hues to achieve new colors, and then practicing with those new colors by playing with traditional watercolor techniques. You will end this four-session course with a completed journal of tangled watercolor swatching and a little technique book that you can use as a reference for years to come.

All content is pre-recorded and available for you in the Thinkific Learning Center.

Over four sessions, we will:

prepare journal pages for Tangles and color swatching,

work through the process of combining hues to make new colors,
learn several traditional watercolor background techniques, and
combine your sample technique pages into a booklet for reference.
