Watercolor in Motion
Become the Artist You Have Always Dreamed Of
Do you feel that your paintings are just not good enough? Is it hard to call yourself an artist? Do you feel guilty when you paint, or should you be doing other things?
Relax, this is for you.
Give yourself the time to enjoy yourself and to be inspired with ongoing support.
This membership program is very different from others; at any tier, you will find many lessons, each tailored to a skill or technique, to practice and build upon your skills, along with rotating courses that keep you challenged and some new ones to look forward to.
"Being part of your community is more like a family. I feel excitement and - well, joy - in the moments of interaction. " Ginger
Who this is for
Anyone who wants a creative path to learn about watercolor and become a better artist.
Each tier has a carefully selected curriculum of lessons to stack and build skills gradually.
Any artist at any level who is looking for new techniques, motivation, community support, and wants to grow skills.
Depending on your tier choice, join the Friday Focus meetings to discuss new techniques, marketing, and problem-solving with my selected team. There will also be monthly reviews of chosen paintings, guided lessons, demonstrations with Birgit, or continued discussion.
