Watercolor and Creativity Workshops
- Enjoy personal and individualized guidance as you learn watercolor from an experienced teacher, coach and artist who loves the medium. Using step-by-step lessons and ongoing communications by email, blog, or mail, Helen will introduce you to the basic techniques, concepts and skills you will need to make watercolor your own medium. She introduces the tools, materials and teaches wonderful techniques you can use to achieve control over a challenging yet fun medium.
Helen teaches Introduction to Watercolor in a way that first teaches you the techniques and qualities of the watercolor medium by doing small abstract technique sheets before tackling paintings that require a lot of drawing. There are six low stress sections to the workshop that explore tools and techniques of watercolor. Helen offers plenty of tips and approaches that will support developing your individual style. You finish the workshop with a final seventh exercise where you are guided through creating your own finished painting using the techniques you have learned. Work at your own pace and take up to a year to finish. - Register for Guided Introduction to Watercolor Workshop Online
