Introduction to Watercolour Pencil - Live Online Workshop

SOLVING THE MOST COMMON MISTAKES MADE WITH WATERCOLOUR PENCIL

Have you ever said: “I loved art as a kid… but I’m not creative anymore.”

or simply wanting to know how WC pencil works and avoid some of those simple mistakes such as muddy areas and tonal creation?

This session is for you. The 2-Hour Art Reset is a small, live online workshop where I gently guide some foundational skills to create a finished artwork from home.

This is not a traditional art class. You do not need talent, experience, or confidence. I designed this for adults who are curious about art but too intimidated to start on their own. Using a simple drawing-first method, you will build your artwork slowly and then watch colour come to life with water. Most people arrive nervous. Most people leave surprised by what they made.

What Makes This Different

You are not “painting”.

You are learning a simple sequence:
draw first → activate with water → build soft depth.

I stay with you the entire time, demonstrate every step live, and wait for everyone to catch up.

No pressure.
No judgement.
Camera on or off,  your choice.

What You Will Do

• Learn some foundational elements of how WC pencil works and how to care for the material
• Learn how water activates colour
• Create soft shading and depth
• experiment with blending colours

You don’t need to be good at art, you only need to follow along.

Who This Is Perfect For:

• Adults who want to try art or reconnect with art making.
• Beginners who haven’t drawn in years
• Busy minds needing a calm activity
• Anyone wanting a screen-free creative hobby

Even if you are experienced with watercolour paints, WC pencil works differently. 

Artists of all skill levels welcome. experienced and new.
