WHY A WATERCOLOR LOVE AFFAIR?
I still remember the first time I used a watercolor brush. The way the pigments dance when you add water and mix as soon as they touch the paper made me fall in love with the medium, and I knew it was going to be a love that will last forever. Now, I want to share my love for watercolor with me. Frida, me and you will start a journey of discovery as I show you how I work with watercolors and the techniques and secrets I use on my paintings.
WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?
From the beginning you will learn about choosing the right paper, how to choose colors and how to mix to get your favorite color palette. We will have practical and fun exercises to get you acquainted with this magical medium, and on the last part of the class we will to put in practice everything we learned as we create different paintings featuring my favorite artist, Frida. the class is divided in 8 fun sections, each one with comprehensive videos that you can watch on your table, phone or computer at your own pace. Anywhere you want to learn watercolor painting, the class will be with you.
