Introduction, Resources, Overview
Welcome!
In this course, you will learn how to paint this zebra in watercolor. I hope you will find the techniques, steps, and colors helpful whether you create this painting or a similar subject!

- Throughout this course, I encourage you to make decisions based on your vision for your painting. Use as much or as little of the lessons and drawing as you need. If you lose focus, take a break. You will return with fresh eyes!
- Creating a detailed and realistic painting like this does take time, but when you enjoy the process it's inspiring and a lot of fun. Allow yourself the freedom to experiment and learn from your experiences, because that's how we grow. You can do this!
I’d love to hear how it goes and invite you to share your painting along with challenges, solutions, and suggestions.
