6 Best Watercolor Courses for Beginners
Choosing a watercolor course can feel overwhelming, especially when you are just starting out. This page brings together six beginner‑focused options, all offered through Udemy, with prices ranging from $24.99 to $199.99. The courses vary in their emphasis – some concentrate on basic watercolor techniques, while others combine drawing and mixed media to build broader artistic confidence.
The list is ordered according to our internal ranking, not an objective measure of quality. Consider what you want to achieve: pure watercolor skill development, landscape painting, or a broader introduction to colour and drawing. Pricing differences reflect the depth of content and the number of specialised lessons each course provides, helping you match a programme to your budget and learning goals.

How these 6 courses were chosen
Every course below is a real, currently listed course from Udemy, matched to "watercolor" by our catalog and ordered by our CourseAsk score. Courses whose own title names the topic rank above those only tagged with it.
The grade on each entry scores how much the provider publishes about the course before you pay — the length and detail of the description, whether it lists learning outcomes and objectives — and whether a named university or institution stands behind it. A is fully documented and institution-backed; E is little more than a title and a price. Courses with almost nothing published are left ungraded rather than marked down, because an unknown course and a poor one are not the same thing.
There are no star ratings on this page — the course feeds we license do not include them, and we would rather leave a column out than fill it with a number we cannot stand behind. What we do have is price: these range from $24.99 to $199.99, as listed by the provider when we last updated the page.

What the prices here tell you
The 6 priced courses on this page run from $24.99 to $199.99, with the middle of the range around $29.99 — a spread of $175.00. That is a wide gap for one subject. A higher price on this page usually reflects who is behind the course rather than how much material it contains, so it is worth opening two or three at different price points and comparing their syllabus before deciding.
Who is behind these courses
These courses come from Udemy. Everything on this page is sold on the one platform, so the buying experience is the same whichever you pick.
Before you enrol
Open the provider’s own page and check three things this comparison cannot tell you: when the course was last updated, what the syllabus actually covers in its later sections, and what recent learners say. Prices shown here are the provider’s listed price when we last rebuilt this page on 18 September 2026 — they change often, and a promotion can move them substantially. We earn a commission if you enrol through our links, which costs you nothing and never affects the order courses appear in.
