With this course, I finally learned how to Watercolor. It is clear and concise and fun! The instructor does not 'overtalk' the topics. I looked for other courses by this instructor and did not find any. I hope there will be others, soon.
I'd highly recommend this course to any beginners interested in watercolor painting. I took other online courses and watched YouTube videos and nothing came close to what I learned in this course. Thanks, Allie.
i want to start painting...
This was a good match for me as I was looking for more techniques on blending and doing strokes. The instructor obviously knows her watercolors and gave very clear instructions on how to do everything. My only negative comment is that she starts nearly every sentence with "So" which does not indicate confidence with what she is about to say. Really though - a very nice course!
It was great, I wish there was more.
I really like how teacher explain me everything! I hope Allie Kohlbusch will create another course about watercolor and I will definitely take it!
I give it a 5 star because it made me learn so many types of colours.
It’s really a nice teaching
The presentation for me as an absolute beginner is perfecr

This is a good course for that absolute beginner in watercolor and I love the way she teaches. She does an excellent job of explaining things. My only complaint is that the course is too short. I would’ve like to have more hands on projects.
