Watercolor for Cardmakers

Watercolor for Cardmakers is the first online class that I have ever signed up for.  The cost was reasonable and watercoloring is not a strength of mine, so I decided to give it a shot.

Although actual instruction doesn't begin until May 5, there are pre-class videos to view that go over supplies and suggest a few exercises. 

We were asked to make swatch cards using any watercolor media that we had. I already own two sets of traditional watercolors, watercolor pencils and crayons, plus Tim Holtz Distress inks and markers.

We were also asked to make a plaid design with very diluted watercolor that we could post to the pre-class members' gallery. 

I used blue, yellow, and green for my plaid.

I'm looking forward to the new activities!
