Class Experience

In this one-time class, we will learn to use watercolor paints to create an autumn tree. This class is good for beginners as well as students with some familiarity with watercolor. We will start with a brief slideshow about color mixing, water-to-paint ratios, and mark making with brushes. This class will meet for 35 minutes. The bulk of the class will be painting and problem solving while we create. My goal is for your student to leave the class with new skills they can use again and again. I look forward to seeing you in class!

Supply List
These are the materials for our class together. I’ve listed some brands because I don’t want anyone to feel lost or overwhelmed trying to buy art supplies. I will try to list an inexpensive option as well as a mid-level option for some of these materials but remember they are just suggestions. I am very supportive of using what you have on hand or upcycling materials for our class. :)

3.Cup of water                                                            
4. Watercolor brush- (any brand, rounded brush tip)

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! My name is Brittany and I’m excited to help your child tap into their creative side. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Fine Art with a minor in Bookmaking. I have experience teaching adults and children of all ages in museum  and summer camp settings. I also have 6 years of experience in online teaching. 
  I am a certified ACE educator here on Outschool which means that I have taken training to give your child the best possible learning experience in our virtual classroom. Whether we are crocheting, knitting, or making art, I want your child to have fun and feel confident in their abilities. I always want to prioritize the idea of adding “yet” when we feel overwhelmed. “I can’t do this…YET!” 
   I have two very serious studio assistants (cats) who like to see what we’re working on. I am also an avid reader, knitter, and crocheter. See you in class!
