Hi, my name is Ted Head

National Watercolor Society Signature Member

One of my greatest joys is teaching watercolors, which I have had the privilege to do for almost 20 years around the Southeast United States.

I created this guide to pass on not only the knowledge I've acquired, but also the unsurpassable joy of creativity that enriches our lives. Enjoy!

This guide is just part of an exciting journey!

Master Your Edges

Watercolor is uniquely suited for beautiful edge control – from razor-sharp detail to soft atmospheric transitions.

Values Matter More Than Colors

If the values are correct, the painting will work even with very simple colors.
