Class Experience

Draw & Watercolor - "Hookfang" a Monstrous Nightmare dragon from “How To Train Your Dragon”.

You do not have to be an artist to take this class. You just need to love to create.
I will take your student on a journey, Inspire, and build confidence.
If painting is not your thing markers, colored pencils or digital are welcome!

ABOUT
In this dragon painting class, your artists will learn to draw & watercolor paint Toothless hanging out. I love to draw the characters your artist requests! No drawing experience is needed for this class! I will teach in every class everything your artist needs to know in drawing properly!

PRIOR TO CLASS
Students should start logging into class about 5 mins before the scheduled start time. This allows time for you to resolve any technical issues with your device's connection.  If you are using a battery-powered device (laptop, Ipad, etc) be sure it is fully charged or connected to the power supply.

I will use this time for students to show me any art they have completed and any questions prior to starting the class session. 

START OF CLASS
First thing, we will go over the supplies needed for the lesson and will ask each student their name. I encourage students to use the chatbox during class for questions. If they have an answer to my questions they are then allowed to unmute to answer the question. I love class participation!  Especially when we learn from each other about art! 

Then I will begin the step-by-step process of drawing out our character in easy-to-follow instructions. Each step will be broken down to the simplest form by using common shapes like circles and lines.  My favorite is comparing shapes to food!  Like a potato or a pizza. This frees the artist to allow for imperfections in their initial sketch. Once we build our character out, we will add details, texture, shading, and form to our drawing. If it is a painting, we will add these using watercolor paints.

Specifics we will learn:
Contouring
Shading
Improve drawing skills
Colors
How to choose pencil types and hardness.
How to choose paper and art mediums.
How to use your paintbrushes
How to choose and mix watercolor paint.
Create character and form using texture and shading.
Learning perspective views.
I encourage artists to ask me any art questions!!!

END OF CLASS
At the end of class, each student is given the opportunity to show their work on the screen and tell the class about their work!  This is a big confidence booster!  You can see how much they worked and listened in class when they hold up their final art piece!  Thank you for encouraging your artist to be creative!

Art develops problem-solving skills.  
Art engages the creative mind.
Art will allow you to express emotions that may be difficult in other ways (words / social interactions).
Art will build confidence in your abilities.
Art allows connection with other people.
Art develops fine motor skills.
Art is FUN!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Unleash your inner artist with drawing lessons for young creators! 
Do you have a young artist who loves drawing:

Dragons like Toothless from HTTYD or the fierce tribes of Wings of Fire?
The brave cats of Warrior Clans or the wonders of real animals?
Maybe their imagination wants to create something entirely new!
No matter what they love to draw, I'm here to help them learn and grow!

My passion is to inspire young people to:
~Find courage and confidence in their creativity.
~Master the skills to bring their artistic visions to life.
~Have fun and enjoy the process of creating.

From basic drawing techniques to exploring different mediums, my interactive classes are designed to:
~Build confidence and self-esteem.
~Spark the imagination and fuel creativity.
~Develop essential skills like observation and problem-solving.
~Most importantly, foster a lifelong love for art!

Whether your young artist is a beginner or wants to refine their skills, I have a class for them!

My journey began with sketching as a child and working on graphic designs for T-shirts as a teen.  As an adult, I have designed and painted larger-than-life murals and now teach art classes to the public.  I currently teach weekly live worldwide art classes online.  I get in-person interaction with my local events for those in the Houston, Texas, area!  

I reside in Houston, Texas, and I am a homeschooled mom of three. (2 graduated, and one will graduate in 2024).  And a proud U.S. Marine Mom!  When not putting my latest art onto paper, I can be found "pumping iron" at the gym with my husband of over 27 years. My family is very committed to saving animals, and our house is always full of foster animals from our local animal shelter!  Beware, you may see or hear a puppy, kitten, or guinea pig in a live class!

My passion is inspiring young people to find courage and confidence in their creations! Imagination is the doorway to being able to express yourself and be happy!
Motto: Be who you needed when you were younger.
