Who is this course for?

You've started painting in watercolor and you LOVE it!  But now you are a bit overwhelmed by the myriad of supplies and materials that are available.

What brushes should you buy? What paper is best? Which brand of paint and what colors do you need? How do you avoid spending money on what you don't really need?

In the Getting Started in Watercolor course, Kris simplifies the process and provides some clear guidelines for setting up your creative space.
