Stop If you haven’t bought any supplies yet, wait until after your first class if you are in one of my studio classes I provide everything. If you take a class at the Art Station or with Creativity Resource Foundation I can provide supplies for rental cost. I will provide supplies and introduce you to my favorite, affordable brushes, paper, paints, etc. If you do have supplies, bring whatever you have and we’ll make it work. If you work with quality materials you will have a better experience. Student grade materials are okay, but generally a waste of time and money. |

What is an experienced beginner? If you have taken any watercolor class or have some comfort with the medium (and or acrylics or oils) it is helpful. If you’ve never painted before I suggest you take a watercolor basics class first.
