Class Experience

✨ Is your child eager to explore watercolor painting? Students can join ongoing sessions or book a single class, making it flexible and convenient. Whether they're just starting or want to refine their skills, this year-long class offers something for everyone! No prior experience is needed— Each week features a unique topic with step-by-step guidance, ensuring no lesson is ever repeated. 

✨ In a friendly and supportive environment, I help young artists build confidence, develop foundational techniques, and spark their creativity. With personalized guidance, students will learn blending, layering, and brush control while creating beautiful artwork they can be proud of.

✨ To ensure the best results and minimize frustration, 140lb watercolor paper is required for this class. Let’s make art fun and magical!

✨ In this structured, 40-minute class, students will:
~ We will discuss the topic.
~ Sketch and outline the composition.
~ Practice essential watercolor techniques, such as blending, layering, and brush control.
~ Complete the artwork by applying learned techniques to bring their drawing to life.


✨ What Students Will Learn:
-Basic watercolor techniques, including blending, washes, and layering.
-How to paint small, structured scenes and grow into larger compositions.
-Creative techniques for turning imagination into vibrant paintings.

✨ Class Structure:.
Guided instruction with room for personal creativity.
Encouraging feedback to help students grow and enjoy the process.

✨ Here’s a list of materials we’ll need:
        •	Pencil/Eraser
	•	A set of watercolor paints OR tempera Paint in pans/cakes
	•	A variety of brushes (small, medium, and large)
