This was an exercise from my class with watercolorist Shari Blaukopf. Working with one color will help you to recognize values easier before moving on to trickier color combinations.

I enjoyed the online class “Pearology” with artist Martha Lever. This is a fun class working in watercolors using the glazing method. Starting out with very light washes of light yellow pigments and gradually layering in a bit of quinacrodone gold. Here is a link for the workshop Pearology Class.
