How to Make Watercolors Lesson
It’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for… the moment where we actually learn how to create our very own watercolors without needing to buy “watercolors”!
In this mini lesson, you’ll be shown how to mix acrylic paint with water to make your own watercolor pigments. Once you understand how to mix various colors with acrylic paint (as we do in our Color Theory Class), you can use the method of turning those pre-made colors into watercolors any time.
