Class Experience

In this fun watercolor class for young artists, we will be painting a beautiful blue whale using watercolor paints, rubbing alcohol, and salt! This class is perfect for a child that likes to have fun with their paints and experiment a little. They will also learn how adding different additives to their painting can create more interest and texture.

At the beginning of class, I will have all the students introduce themselves and one thing they love about painting or art; however, if your child does not want to, that is perfectly alright. Once we have introduced ourselves, I will go over the supplies to ensure everyone is ready to start painting.

The learners will follow along, step-by-step, as I paint with them and create this fun and colorful painting. At the end of class, all the students will have a chance to share their paintings if they choose to. 

Supplies:
-watercolor paints
-paintbrush
-watercolor paper
-cup of water
-pencil and eraser
-rubbing alcohol
-salt
-black fine-point marker, outliner, or pen
-toothpick or chopstick

Parental Guidance

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.
