You can work through the course from beginning to end or just dip into it whenever you want to find out how to create the texture you need.
In each video I show you step-by-step how to create the texture, and I’ve also produced a pdf instruction sheet to go with each one.

This course is for you if you are just starting out with watercolors and you’re not sure how to go about it, or if you have been painting for a while and want to improve the quality of your paintings or find some new techniques and ideas.
