Your teacher


After a career as a non-fiction writer/journalist and travel photographer, I took up watercolor on a lark -- and soon became pleasantly obsessed with it.
Unfortunately, the two classes I took (both with professional artists) never covered the basics of working with watercolor, and left me confused and frustrated. As I taught myself from books (in the Jurassic era, before Youtube), I began to put together the course I wish I'd been able to take -- this course, Watercolor for Absolute Beginners.
NO special artistic or drawing skill is necessary. Really.
Anyone, including you, can learn to do it...so If you'd like to express yourself with watercolor, this is the easiest place to start!
