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.
Great for all levels!
