Online Workshop: December 10


This is a fun project everyone can enjoy, and it is also a great holiday gift idea.

You'll be pleasantly surprised how easy this watercolor painting can be, focus on shape, shadow, and light, and paint creatively with looser brushstrokes.

Paint along during the workshop or at a later time with the recording. Use the provided reference photos, or Bonus images or be creative using your own. No drawing skills are required to enjoy the workshop. Let the water do the work and create some magic.

Who this course is for

Anyone who likes to paint, and wants to learn more about watercolor, or be looser in their painting style.

Relax, unwind, and have fun.

If you are ready to improve your painting skills, this course is for you.

Learn to lose edges, work with color, retain highlights, and study complementary color and how it works.

Great for all levels.



You have no idea how exceptional your teaching style is, accommodating so many of us at so many different levels and learning styles." Gail Gabriel

Why paper is important

Have you ever wondered why the color isn't moving or why you can't get the intensity you want?

Look closely, and you will see what happens when the paper sizing breaks down and how it can affect the flow of your brushstrokes and color.
