Happy Holidays everyone!

I’d like to introduce… <dun, dun, DUUUUUUUN> my first SkillShare Class!

“What’s it all about?” I hear you ask. The TL:DR version is – A fun and gentle introduction to a watercolor technique called dispersion.

The full version is below:

Frustrated with dispersion? Is dispersion ruining all of your watercolor paintings? What even is dispersion anyway?!?

In this class, I’m going to show how I use dispersion with watercolors to make magically delicate images. I’ll give you lots of tips on how to get the best from the supplies you already own and show you how to make some lovely little images yourself, quickly and simply.

I’ll share with you my process for:

• controlling the water and paint on the page,
• learning the personalities of my paints 
• sketching to represent, not replicate, shapes (don’t be scared!)
• creating delicate, magical images and textures

You don’t have to have any experience with watercolors to take this class, I will take you through the basics to help you get started and get the best from your paints. And if you’re an experienced watercolor artist, I will share my personal tips on how to wield dispersion to get it to create the kind of effects and atmosphere you want, while having fun with it.

By the end of this class you will have really gotten to grips with your paints, and uncovered some (more?) joy in using them to create your own artworks.

So let’s get cracking – see you in class!
