Explore the Versatility of Watercolor Pencils

Welcome to the vibrant and versatile world of watercolor pencils, a medium that marries the precision of drawing with the fluidity of painting!

Whether you're a seasoned artist or just beginning your creative journey, this course will cover everything from the basics of working with watercolor pencils as a dry medium to the introduction of water to the drawing, which when dissolved will transform your art into a lush watercolor painting.
