The first in a series of watercolour basics for beginners, this video is all about your painting supplies. I show you the different kinds of paint, paper and brushes available for painting in watercolor and we get started by painting a simple pebble pattern. Each video in this series begins with some technical chat about watercolour painting, followed by a simple and fun pattern to paint.
Skip to 17:21 for the painting!
The videos in this series will take you through everything from supplies, to colour mixing and getting different effects to slightly more advanced techniques like negative painting and masking.
