I’d like to try out learning watercolors. Anyone know of classes that offer learning techniques and best practices for beginner watercolors? I have no formal training, but like attempting art in other mediums. Or if anyone is good and wants to tutor me for pay, I’m open to that too. Feel free to DM me if your prefer.

Thanks again for this suggestion. They have a lot of great courses. A question I have that thought you may be able to help. If I’m looking at a course and it says it starts on jan 12 from 7-10pm and there’s nine sessions, does that mean it’s that same day/time every week for 9 weeks?

I think so but you should call them to be sure!
