Watercolors can be intimidating and unapproachable to a beginner. I know I was intimidated by them at first, but I now love how they are unpredictable. In this ongoing club, learners will discover how much fun watercolors can be as they explore different techniques, styles, and tricks in watercolor painting. This class is meant to be a fun way for learners to explore watercolor painting without added stress. The goal is more about the process and less about their artwork looking exactly like mine. At the start of each session, we will introduce ourselves and share with everyone what we have been working on during the week. After the introductions, I will introduce a technique, style, or trick in watercolor painting and demonstrate it to the learners. Everyone will then get to practice what was demonstrated as we create our painting for that week. Your learner will be able to follow along as I show them how to create that week's painting. They will also be encouraged to ask questions along the way if they have any. For this 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. In addition, I will provide links to several items on Amazon if you need to order them. **Please let me know if you would like this class listed for different times.

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.
