Discovering Watercolor
Welcome to the fresh face of Discovering Watercolor! Beginners and students farther along in their journey are welcome. Beginners will be lead through a process starting with simple subject matter and graduating to more complex use of color and diverse subject matter. Those joining us for the first time are welcome to purchase the starter kit for $40, and those who have their own supplies are welcome to use those.

For those farther along
