I especially appreciated the explanation of the color wheel for formulating cool and warm colors and the formula for the universal shadow color. The cool and warm color definitions have always been a mystery to me. Thank you.

I knew practically nothing about water coloring art. I know I have a lot more to learn, but this was a good start.

I am a complete beginner and and have had a great time trying these examples. It has been especially helpful to see the mixing of colors in the white dishes. I feel like I am slowly getting it!

I am not an artist. I only bought this course to learn the basics so I might guide my children and grandchildren. However, her attention to detail and clear step-by-step demonstration of how to do it makes even those of us who are artistically challenged succeed. I can't thank you enough. I can't wait to take her next course.

I found this course to be very helpful as I have learned new techniques and use of colour and shading. I am new to watercolours and so I felt this to be a very enjoyable course even for a beginner such as myself. I would recommend this course if you are looking to develop your skills and understanding of use of colour with watercolours. I would like to thank Deborah for creating this course as I feel it has helped me to produce some good work.
