Introductions to Parts I, II & III in this one video.
Pulling the Puddle was first released as four separate classes on Skillshare. I've combined three of the classes and added more lessons and challenges for a more in-depth course focused on the watercolor technique I find most useful in both my abstract and representational work.
You'll find the curriculum for each of the three parts below.
