Indigojade Art Craft Your Joy Classroom

Let's paint a hot air balloon and create an oversized card project together!

In the whimsical watercolor mini-class series, I'm sharing bite-sized art lessons in watercolor and other mediums like colored pencils, markers, gouache, and more. 

The intention of this course series is to provide mini-class lessons packed with techniques that are easy to understand, replicate, and master. 

AND, we'll create a fun oversized card project together.  At the end of the series, you'll have 12 or more card projects that you handpainted. 

In This Mini Class, You Will Learn: 

• How to paint loose roses in watercolor and create dreamy, washy-washy effects
• What is gouache and how to create the "look" if you don't own any? Hint: it's opaque watercolor. 
• How to add simple details with pen and/or ink
• Splatter effects
• Wet into Wet and Wet into Dry Watercolor Techniques
• To get comfortable with brushstrokes and brush dancing
• To TRUST Yourself! You can do this!

Grab the following from your stash:
