Hi everyone! I am so excited to offer this new multi-day camp where we will have some fun with watercolor painting! We will be creating three paintings in this camp, all using slightly different techniques and methods. Over the three days, we will create a gorgeous blue whale, fabulous pink flamingo, and a colorful hummingbird. At the beginning of each class, the students will say hi and be encouraged to share something fun. I will then guide them through the day's painting, encourage questions, check in often with them, and share their paintings at the end of class (if they choose not to, that is okay also). By the of the week, your students will have four very different paintings, all of which they will be super proud of. Day 1: Blue Whale-- we will discuss the wet-on-wet method of painting and how it allows our paints to spread and blend in an organic and natural way. We will then get our paper and paints ready by taping the paper to our work surface and getting our paints wet. Once our paper is taped down, we will sketch our whale and then get to the good stuff: Painting! This painting will also include an extra element: science and rubbing alcohol. Day 2: Pink Flamingo-- on our second day, we will talk about how to add a little bit of shading and detail by layering colors. Day 3: Beautiful Hummingbird-- for our third day, we will use the wet-on-dry and wet-on-wet methods to paint a beautiful, fluttering hummingbird. We will be putting everything we learned in the first two classes to use in this final class. **It is IMPORTANT that learners have paper specifically meant for watercolor painting (not printer paper, cardstock, or mixed media paper) and soft bristle brushes meant for watercolor; this will lead to less frustration for your learner down the road. Supplies: -Watercolor paper 140lb (100% cotton is the best) A link to affordable 100% cotton paper is provided in the supply section -Paintbrushes (soft bristles, meant for watercolor) -Watercolor paints -2 cups of water -Masking/painters/washi tape -Paper towel -Black gel pen or thin point sharpie -Hairdryer -Pencil and eraser -Rubbing alcohol or liquid dish soap
Other Details
Parental Guidance
On day one, the students will be using rubbing alcohol or dish soap, so a parent or guardian may want to be nearby in case any help is needed.

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.
