Ochra: A Watercolor Teacher That Reads the Wash
A watercolor-learning app pairs lessons on real paper with photo-based feedback on what to fix next.
Field notes
Ochra structures watercolor instruction around physical materials rather than a purely screen-based course. Its sample first lesson uses one brush, one sheet, and about 20 minutes, while the demonstrated critique identifies a dried hard line, a clean horizon edge, and buckled paper. The page limits the proposed response to three corrections at most and says to trust the paper when a photograph and a generic reading disagree. A composed panel currently stands in for a learner submission.
