  • I am a complete beginner. How should I start learning watercolor painting?

    We recommend starting with our beginner-friendly course, Complete Guide to Watercolor Colors and Techniques, which is designed specifically for newcomers. The course covers fundamental concepts such as choosing painting tools, basic brush strokes, water control, color gradients, and blending techniques. It will help you build a solid foundation as you step into the world of watercolor. Each lesson includes full demonstrations and hands-on exercises, making it easy for beginners to follow along.

    • Student-grade watercolor paints (initially 6–12 colors recommended)
    • Medium and small round watercolor brushes (e.g., size 6 and 10)
