In this webpage, dedicated to watercolor lessons I would like to explain what you should expect to find when you’re looking for watercolor lessons, and what are the different types watercolor lessons you may find.

I would like to start with what a teacher is expected to teach in watercolor lessons. First of all you have to learn about the equipment – types of paper, brushes and colors that you will use. Watercolor classes should teach you the differences between different qualities of papers, brushes and colors, what each kind is meant for and the best way to use it. It is also important to have tips about maintaining the equipment, especially brushes.

And now let’s paint. It is very important to learn in watercolor lessons how to control the density of the colors, so that you can paint the colors just as strong or as light as you want. Therefore it may require practice, either with an exercise that is particularly meant for this, or just by painting while giving a special attention to this aspect.

Of course, just like with any painting or drawing lessons, also watercolor lessons should teach the basic rules regarding composition, perspective, choosing object etc. What is particular about watercolor lessons is teaching how to create efficiently different effects and express different textures. If you paint a girl dressed with a light shirt or a priest with a heavy ceremonial dress, the observer should be able to notice the difference, and watercolor lessons should teach you how to show this difference. There are different watercolor painting techniques, and all of them should be taught.

Watercolor lessons can be of different types, and the differences will be according to the age of the student and his skills. There are lessons for young kids and in this type of classes a child is mostly given the possibility to experience painting with watercolor, and maybe to have some help or explanation about some technique according to his needs. Watercolor lessons for kids also help them in gaining control over the use of the palms and fingers. Of course, the older the student is, the more it is possible to get into techniques and basic artistic considerations.

When it comes to adults watercolor lessons, that will depend on the skills, if someone already knows the basics, the classes may focus on advanced techniques, but if needed they can also be step by step lessons for the beginner.

At last! You can draw or paint any subject with ease…. Even if you have never drawn or painted before!
