Class Experience

Beginner Level
In this class, we will discuss watercolors and how they are not as intimidating as they seem. In fact, they are a lot of fun to paint with. We will go over the two most common methods of painting:  wet-on-dry and wet-on-wet. We will discuss different topics and practice brush strokes, paint values, lifting color, and many others.

In class, we will sometimes do several exercises to practice a different method or technique that will be used. We will then do a painting in class to put those methods/techniques to practice.

The learner must have watercolor paper that is 140lb, not printer paper, cardstock, mixed media, or construction paper. This will lessen the young learner's frustration down the road. A beginner's brush set for watercolors will also be helpful. 

***If your young learner is using tube watercolors, I highly suggest that small amounts of the paint be placed in a palette that closes. This will allow the paint to dry between uses and help to make the paint last longer. Learners are also less likely to use watercolor paint like acrylic when stored this way. The wonderful thing about watercolors is that you can reactivate any dried watercolor in/on a palette with water for use. Here is a link to one on Amazon:   https://www.amazon.com/Mijello-Airtight-Watercolor-18-Well-Palette/dp/B0049UZEWQ/ref=sr_1_9?crid=2NIQQ3X94C1M4&dchild=1&keywords=watercolor+palette&qid=1632659840&sprefix=watercolor+%2Caps%2C182&sr=8-9

Hi everyone! I am a graduate of Western Washington University with a B.A. in English and a minor in art history. I grew up in Washington State but have lived out on the east coast for most of my adult life. I have been a nanny, homework coach, and tutor for over 20 years. I love working with younger children and teens to help them realize the potential within. I work with kids ages 4 to 18 in reading, reading comprehension, reading remediation, grammar, language arts, elementary/middle school math, pre-algebra, organizational/study skills, HSPT, and ISEE exams. 

Whenever I work with a child, whether it's in academics, art/crafting, or baking, I meet the child where they are and build them up from there; I am patient, kind, and understanding. Every child must know that a mistake is not a bad thing, just one step on the path to learning something new and that these steps are the building blocks of understanding.

During my free time, I love to paint, craft, and bake! I have been creating art and crafts for the last ten-plus years and selling them at local shows. I make 3-D paper flowers, burlap wreaths, stamped coasters, work with alcohol inks, fluid painting, watercolor painting, decoupage, and bookbinding. I hope to share all of these with the learners on Outschool! 

Finally, I love to bake and cook! I used to sell my bread at a local farmers' market when I lived in Washington State. I am continually trying a new recipe or perfecting one of my own to share with everyone. When I was a nanny, baking and cooking were two of my favorite things to do with the kids. I taught them to bake cookies, bread, breakfast, and even how to roast a chicken.

Thank you for allowing me to work with your children and helping them realize they can do whatever they set their minds to. The only limits they have are the ones they place on themselves.
