Hi Bethany - I too find that taking these classes and working with a medium I may not have liked or even considered before may lead me to embracing it. Now I feel that way about colored pencils - it takes a lot of work to get familiar with them (one can mix colors with them, but not as easily as with watercolor), but with the right paper, pencils, etc, they can be fun. I'm going to have to get more comfortable with watercolor! Thank you!
