Watercolor 101 with Lexi
What: Step by Step Guide of Watercolor Terminology, Techniques and Tools
When: Saturday, January 24, 2026
Time: 10-1pm PST
Join me for a comprehensive beginners guide to watercolor, where we learn about the terminology, techniques and tools of the medium. We practice our exercises on a total of four sheets of 9” x 12” watercolor paper. These will serve as great guides and reminders of the new techniques and studies you make, and you can refer back to them when needed. I’m going to approach this course like you’ve never watercolored in your life. However, as a person who has played a bit but would like to know more or even someone who simply likes pretty art supplies and resources, you will walk away with a solid understanding of the medium – so really anyone is welcome!
This class is a live class, hosted on Zoom (Pacific Standard Time). However, I record the entire lesson. So, in the event that you cannot make the live lesson, you can catch the replay. The replay will be available to you on Zoom for two weeks, so I suggest that you download it immediately. This way you have it for as long as you like. Downloads appear to work best on laptops, desktops and occasionally iPads. Sadly, smart phones are NOT an option.
Class Supplies:
· Watercolor paints – starting from scratch? On a budget? Try the NEW Keff Watercolor Sets!

· Watercolor brushes Round 18/0, 2 and 6 and if you have a 3/4” or 1” flat wash that would be great too

· Watercolor paper coldpress 9x12
· Paper towels or baby wipes

Classroom/Class Outline/Intellectual Property
Facebook Messenger Classroom - We have a private Facebook Messenger group for each of my online classes. If we are not “friends” already on Facebook, please send me a friend request here. I will add you to this Messenger group. It’s a place to communicate with fellow students, share work, and ask questions.
If you are a brand new student with me, you will receive an email from Lexi.Grenzer@gmail.com, which will include your first class outline. It is EXTREMELY important that you send me a friend request on Facebook, as we use FB Messenger for all class communication. Once we are “friends” on FB, I will add you to this private Messenger group. Keep in mind that I create a new messenger group for each and every one of my classes. In this messenger string, the very first message in the group will include your class outline, a zoom link for joining the class and any pertinent class information. Once you have taken at least one class with me, I will no longer send your class outlines via email. You will automatically be added to the corresponding FB Messenger classroom, where you will find all class details. If you have any questions, please always feel free to shoot me an email – I’m here to help whenever I can.
Please do not license the content created in my classes, duplicate/copy or reteach the classes/content (online, in person or via recording). These courses are intended for your own personal growth, and I’m delighted to share my love of art with you!
