Overview Hi I’m Jessica Sanders a self-taught mixed media artist who loves exploring art and sharing it with you! I am creating a series of ultra beginner mini classes to help you learn to paint with watercolor. The skills I teach in these classes helped to put me on the fast-track to creating vibrant loose beautiful watercolor paintings like a pro! And I believe they can do the same for you! Each class is designed to teach 1 or 2 beginner skills of watercolor painting. I want to Keep It Super Simple - KISS baby! - short and easy to learn! Watercolor Basics 4: Brush Control In class 4 we will explore how to hold and control our brush. We will cover brush holding positions and how that affects your control of the brush. We will practice varying the pressure on our brush. We will also discuss different ways to use your brush like flicking rolling and using the side of your brush. All in less than 15 minutes :) Then it’s project time! Fill a practice page with all of the techniques we’ve learned. Paint with your favorite colors! Be mindful and observant as you go paying attention to how the brush feels in your hand and the quality of your strokes and marks on the page. And don’t forget have fun!! Then please share it with me and your fellow students in the Project Section. If you enjoyed this class and would like to see more please leave a review!
