I'm new to watercolor. Where do I start?

Welcome, we're so happy you're here. You don't need any experience to start, just a few quiet minutes and your kit.

A few gentle tips

  • Start with simple shapes, lines and little color swatches to see how your paints behave.
  • Use a light touch and build your colors in layers.
  • Let each layer dry before adding the next one.
  • Less water gives you stronger color, and more water gives you soft, light washes.
  • Don't worry about mistakes. Every page helps you grow.
