Yes! This course is specifically designed for absolute beginners. You don't need any prior drawing or painting experience—I'll walk you through every technique step-by-step, from holding a brush to mixing colors. If you can hold a pen and follow simple instructions, you can do this course. Many of my students had never sketched before and are now creating beautiful work. The key is starting simple, and that's exactly what we do here.

Absolutely not! You only need a few basic, affordable supplies: some watercolor paints (just 8 colors), a Micron pen (or any fine liner), watercolor paper or a sketchbook, a brush, and a pencil. I show you exactly what I use and provide budget-friendly alternatives. You don't need fancy brands or expensive sets. If you already have some watercolors at home, you can probably start with those! The course includes a detailed supply list with links, so there's no guessing involved.

You get lifetime access with no expiration! Learn at your own speed, pause and come back anytime, and revisit lessons whenever you need a refresher. The course is yours forever—no rush, no pressure.

Here's a secret: sketching isn't about talent—it's about practice and letting go of perfectionism. This course specifically addresses blank page anxiety and the fear of "not being good enough." You'll learn that "imperfect" sketches are often the most beautiful and authentic ones. I show you real examples of my own rough sketches, and I teach you techniques that work even if your lines are wobbly or your colors bleed. The goal isn't perfection—it's progress, confidence, and joy in creating. Give yourself permission to be a beginner, and you'll be amazed at what you create!

You'll complete a gorgeous sketchbook page featuring a milk cap mushroom with watercolor, pen details, leaves, pinecones, and embellishments. But before we get to the final page, I'll guide you through all the essential foundations: you'll get complete info on supplies, learn key techniques (hatching, wet-on-wet, wet-on-dry), master color mixing, and complete several drawing and painting exercises that prepare you step-by-step. By the time you start the final illustration, you'll feel confident and well-practiced! You'll see your skills build with each lesson and finish with something you're proud of. 🍄
