I had an excellent time learning the basics of watercolor....from types of paint and brushes, to basic techniques to get started. It was an awesome way to spend a couple hours!

This was really fun! We got a chance to learn about the different types of paints, brushes, paper, and techniques. I loved trying out professional watercolor paints, and although it was a harder medium to work wth than I had anticipated, I really enjoyed it and would love to take more classes in watercolor.
