This class was perfect! It provided exactly what I was looking for. One, is this doable and two, what are ALL the supplies I need to get started? The process was nowhere near as complicated as others would have you believe. I'm confident I can make my own handmade watercolors now. I want to try my hand at making granulating watercolors.

Lisa is amazing! So much knowledge, and teaches paint making so beautifully, with attention to tons of information about materials and process. I love how she records her process, and shares her results at the end... to show what works and what doesn't. So helpful.
