Captain Watercolor – Watercolor Video Lessons

Grades 4 and up, with parental supervision (although, with adult guidance younger students may enjoy aspects of these lessons as well)

A Maryland ClickScholar recommended this website that provides free, watercolor painting lessons through online video demonstrations. The lessons are also fully written out, so you can read the text as you watch the video.

When you get to the site you’ll see a Video Screen and some Google Ads. Below them are a menu and an introduction to the website. Use the menu to locate the free lessons for:

• Beginning – Includes basic watercolor lesson, color mixing, stretching and preparing paper, how to paint trees, a snowscape, skies, a barn, a bird, and more.
• Intermediate – Learn to paint color schemes, wet in wet, florals, a basket, and learn to create depth.
• Advanced – Discover how to create shadows in the landscape, how to paint abstract art, learn the techniques of monoprinting and advanced concepts in color.

You can also read about “Captain Watercolor” and sign up to be notified as new lessons and features are posted to the site.

Thank you,

Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
