In this class, students will create a modern watercolor painting by using only three colors and ink. I will discuss with the students how to dilute and mix colors to create different color values and also how to create precise lines while water painting. We will also discuss how incorporating ink doodles to their artwork can add interest. We will be using the wet-on-dry technique that will help with creating more precise lines. I will guide the students through the painting step-by-step. They will start by outlining the lines and circles on their paper. Next, we will discuss the colors they have chosen and how those colors will mix as we fade one color into another in our painting. Then we will start to paint! Once they are done and waiting for it to dry, I will have the students practice some plant/leaf doodles to know what they want to add to their painting. Once everything is dry, we will add our plant doodles to the circles. By the end of class, everyone should have a beautiful, modern piece of art to show off!

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.Reviews
