Getting Started with Watercolor Series Part 1: Why Watercolor?
Welcome Back! I hope you had a restful break and are ready to get your creative fibers working!
I am excited to start off this humbling new year with a watercolor series called “ Getting Started with Watercolor.” In the series I will teach you how to become a watercolor artist, answering the questions of why, what materials, where to find inspiration and how to start your first painting.
This first video is an intro explaining why to even consider watercolor painting and I squash common misconceptions associated with watercolors.
I hope you join me through this series and pleases tag me during your creative journey

Where to start when choosing a color palette for your next painting
This is a very asked about topic and I finally decided to answer your question in a more thorough manner than “I just know from experience” Ummmm….. how does that help you, it doesn’t haha.
This is my first blog post on my website so I whole heartedly thank you for being here and reading my words. I have been painting for over 15 years so I have had time to really get to know color. I would say in the words of Kip (Napoleon Dynamite), “it’s getting pretty serious.”
Color is one of those things in painting that is very personal but there are theories that actually can help you determine different palettes and give you a starting point.
In this first lesson I go through and teach you some basic color theory that you will use not only as painter but in all areas of life that involve color, whether it be your home design or what flower to pick for your garden.
If you missed, I also have a worksheet with lots of insight and exercises I recommend for you to try. I really take you inside my personal process of picking my colors! It is the same process I use for all the kits I create in my shop. Think of it as special peek inside my brain and I am excited for you all to dive deeper with me into all my different art methods in the coming weeks.
I encourage you to share you progress with me if you try any of the exercises by tagging @pinkpuddlestudio
Happy Painting!
