Today, I want to dispel the idea that a person needs to know more about painting with watercolors before getting started. The best way to learn this medium is to start painting regardless of one's skill level. Like just about anything else in life, we can learn better by doing what it is we want to do. And this is no different. Come experiment and play with me! I believe you'll not only have fun, but you'll learn a ton in the process.

Here’s a list of the materials I used for this painting: (*** I now have the ability to monetize my site. This means I can include links to the products I use and when you make a purchase using some of these links I will get a small commission. ( This applies to the Amazon links in this description and RU-vid Shopping Affiliate links included in my video. ) Any purchases made by using these links help me earn a little bit of money along the way, so I can continue doing this work. Please note that I will only ever add links to products that I actually like and use. Thanks in advance!***)
