You will be watching pre-recorded videos that I have made specifically for this class. They will be full of information for learners wanting to start watercolor painting or take their knowledge to the next level. Who is this class for? Beginner to intermediate. This class is for the absolute beginner who wants to build a solid watercolor foundation and for the intermediate learner wanting to strengthen their knowledge. This class is especially good for those learners that have been teaching themselves, but now want to be guided in their learning journey while still having the flexibility to work at their own pace. Please see the syllabus to see the complete class plan for each unit! The syllabus will help you understand the curriculum's scope, sequence, and pacing. For learners taking this class as self-paced note there will not be any live meetings. I will be available Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm (pst). I will be checking any questions, feedback, or comments. Note: I will do my best to respond within 24-36hrs. I estimate that this class may take learners up to 7 weeks to complete.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Master's Degree in Education from CSU
Greetings, learners and families!
I'm teacher Nazaret (pronounced nah-sah-reht), and I'm thrilled to be a part of the Outschool community. I officially joined Outschool in 2022, in the late fall of 2022 I embarked on my journey as a dedicated Outschool educator. Although my journey with Outschool is relatively fresh, my experience in teaching extends far beyond this platform.
With a rich educational background, I hold a BA degree in Psychology and an MA in Education-Counseling. My teaching experience encompasses a diverse range of learners, spanning from the littlest learners all the way to adult learners. My expertise lies not only in imparting essential life skills like career exploration, time management, and personal responsibility, but also in nurturing creativity through captivating mediums like painting and art journaling.
I'm more than an educator; I'm an artist with a vibrant creative journey. My passion flows through mixed media, acrylic, watercolor, and oil painting. Nature is my muse, and I often find myself wandering through arboretums, capturing its beauty through my lens. This love for photography finds its way into my artwork, enriching the creative tapestry that defines my style.
You can explore my artistic creations not only in the form of original pieces but also across an array of products like prints and stickers.
My creative exploration isn't confined to my personal pursuits. I extend my artistic wisdom to the realm of education, offering adult watercolor courses to both individuals and corporate groups. This holistic approach to teaching enables me to instill artistic skills while fostering personal growth and expression.
I'm not only fluent in both English (US) and Spanish (Mexico), but I'm also bicultural, embracing the unique nuances of each language and culture.
My teaching philosophy resonates with my own journey as a learner. Each learner carries a treasure trove of knowledge, and together, we uncover the gems within. I believe in nurturing confidence, particularly among introverted learners. I understand the challenge of stepping into the spotlight, and I'm committed to creating a comfortable space where learners can grow at their own pace. Whether it's camera breaks, voice alternatives, or personalized instruction, I collaborate closely with parents and learners to ensure a supportive and effective learning environment.
What do I aspire for my learners to gain from my classes? Three core pillars:
1. **Knowledge**: Bridging gaps, strengthening understanding, and embracing new knowledge.
2. **Confidence**: Empowering learners to believe in their abilities and fostering growth through self-assurance.
3. **Support**: Fostering a sense of co-creation and collaboration, making each learner an essential part of the educational journey.
