It was good but the final project was way too fast for me. I would have loved to see it a little slower.

By Julie Skillicorn on 5/12/2020

Not what I was expecting. Watching her paint the final project without detailed instruction was frustrating. What about dry times? What if I make a mistake? How do I try to fix it? Left a lot to be desired

By Hanna on 5/11/2020

It was okay until the last section. I don't have drawing skills and so I felt sorta lost or left behind. Maybe just stick with watercolor stuff in this beginner lesson.

By Victor Villalobos on 4/14/2020

Very informative and practical. I love the pace and delivery. I feel the content is very well-rounded, and since I'm a beginner, it's perfect for me. I've only just started the course and already in this short time, I feel that I have learned a great amount of very useful practical information. I am excited to continue with the rest of the course.

By Rahul Rambhatla on 4/13/2020

This course is really helpful and it helped to learn more about water colors. I am currently doing water colors in my class. This course really helped me. Thank you.

I loved this course!!!! I'm a bit nervous to do the final project as my drawing skills are not too good! Thank you for your course!

Great and very clear explanation of the most important aspects of watercolour painting. Very talented girl. Somehow I really liked to listen to her advices.

A instrutora explica bem, ensina o caminho, porém, não sei por qual motivo ela não uma lista de exercícios maior... Mas tudo bem eu gostei mesmo assim e já irei começar a praticar.

By Charity on 2/18/2018

I don't know why but after I did the color wheel with you, it all made more sense to me. I'm now experimenting with my drawings and painting them. Thank you so much Elena. It was a short class but well worth it to me. Charity

Another awesome class from Elena! I've been following her work on Instagram and learning all the techniques, tips and tricks about watercolor really helps me to improve my skills! Can't wait for more classes!!!!
