What People Are Saying:

Really useful and well explained class. I have been painting for a while and struggle with colour. This really helped!!

Hilary Robinson

An excellent class by an experienced sketcher and watercolour artist who definitely knows what she’s talking about!! You’ve got me thinking about a few unfinished sketchbooks of my own Chris! I was thinking how well this idea would work for my box stash, it would be great to know my subject each time and just get right into sketching!!

Rebecca Humphreys

Every minute of any of Chris' classes is moment invested with great results. The essence of years old mastery presented on increasing level with every class. If you feel need to test yourself for a sleeping artist within, take one class and you will know right away- it is like litmus paper- revealing all your unknown (or known but not tested) curiosity for a world behind color- seen, processed and reflected as a picture in mind and on paper. As always Chris's classes leave you with better understanding of the matter discussed. The wash in watercolor painting is very fundamental skill and "Pulling the Puddle " is another solid base you need to build in the very beginning to watercolor. Chris' method helps you quickly understand and master the skill. The class is based on making a small project- a sweet piece of art that will always remind you of your beginning. Thousand thanks to Chris!

Pulling the Puddle - I've been painting for several years on my own and this is the first time I've truly understood this principle. I can't wait to give it a try. Many thanks for clearly showing this technique. I have learned more from Chris Carter's classes and my efforts in watercolor have improved as a result of her simple and clear instructions. I am looking forward to more of her classes and will continue experimenting with what I've learned so far. Many thanks!
