very helpful, lots of good tips
Great and very informative on how you start up with water colours if you are a beginner! Perfect! Thank you so much!! I have many more tips and tricks with water colours!
Cheers

Nice look at the artist pan set. Good build of lessons with increasing difficulty as the class progresses.
Sorry I am so late in completing this course but that is what I love about the altenew academy courses they are flexible for me to work at when I can.
I think Emily explains things very clearly and I have found the course very helpful and have learned some things that I have been not doing properly and that is why my watercolouring was not up to the standard I expected so Emily thank you and I hope to do more watercolouring in the future as I really love working with these paints
