At 67, I decided to try watercolor again. I love hearing how its alright to make mistakes and messes, all watercolor paintings go through ugly phases and to just push through. Thank you, Emily, for giving me this gift at this time in my life!

Since joining Watercolor Mastery I feel that I’ve grown leaps and bounds in a very short time (three months now), even reaching the point that I’ve taken what I’ve learned to start creating my own paintings!
Khloella B.

But what if I’m just starting out?

Attention Beginners: You do not need to have any painting experience to start learning with Watercolor Mastery!

We have designed a super-special course that covers all the watercolor basics.

It’s called…

30-Days to Watercolor

and it’s included with your membership.

We created this course so you can learn (or re-learn) the watercolor fundamentals.

Watercolor supplies

From what supplies to buy, to what techniques to use (like wet-on-wet and wet-on-dry), as well as washes, textures, and even sketching.

Watercolor supplies

Each bite-sized lesson in 30-Days to Watercolor includes simple paint-along projects that teaches these core concepts and allows you to build your skills quickly.

"Without Watercolor Mastery, I would never have been able to have the courage to do my first pet portrait."

I am so glad that I finally decided to try Watercolor Mastery. I was already finding tutorials on Youtube but I wanted something like what Emily offers on here, the daily challenges, something that doesn’t take long and can be done everyday. I have learned so much from these alone, I feel more comfortable painting, drawing, adding shadows etc. The most important thing I have learned so far is adding shadows using blues. This has become one of my favorite things to do. Without Watercolor Mastery, I would never have been able to have the courage to do my first pet portrait. I painted my sister’s white Maltipoo for her birthday, and I could not have asked for a better reaction from her. She absolutely loved it! Would I recommend Watercolor Mastery to anyone that is trying to up their watercolor game? I definitely would!!

The daily challenge gets me doing watercolor everyday…sounds pretty simple, but doing (and learning) every day is essential. Emily makes it fun to hit the brushes everyday…no drudgery, just fun.
