In this class students will follow along with me each week as we learn how to draw stylized characters modeling everything from everyday looks to red-carpet-ready ballgowns. This class will help students become comfortable using a paintbrush as well as using watercolor paints. This class is great for beginners as well as more experienced watercolorists as we will cover basic, foundational watercolor techniques such as such as wet on wet, wet on dry, and dry on dry, as well as more advanced applications of these techniques. We’ll also cover what techniques to use in order to create different effects for sheer, shiny, and matte fabrics. Students will learn not only how to paint with watercolor, but also why we may use one technique or a certain color over another. They will also learn how to apply other mediums such as acrylic paint, ink, and glitter to their paintings. By the end of class each student should have a fully finished piece.* July 6th: Week 1: Pretty in Pink July 13th: Week 2: Flouncy Florals July 20th: Week 3: A Star is Born July 27th: Week 4: Ready for Spring Week 5: Purple Pom-Poms Week 6: The Blushing Bride Week 7: Twirling Tutus Week 8: Red-Carpet-Ready Week 9: Feeling Blue Week 10: Pastel Stripes Week 11: Blush Pink Week 12: Bows and Stripes *Everyone paints at their own pace, so I will remain 15 minutes after each class to help any students that fall behind. I will be using Arches 100% cotton, 140lb cold pressed watercolor paper. While you don’t need this specific brand I would recommend using paper that has the same qualities since cheap or non watercolor paper can cause problems and lead to frustration. Strathmore is a fairly decent alternative brand that costs $12 for a 9x12 pad at Hobby Lobby. (Cheaper if you use a coupon.)

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi, I’m Annika and I love all things arts and crafts related. I teach watercolor and acrylic classes. In both of these I will teach your children different ways to hold a paintbrush in order to achieve various effects. We will also learn different ways of shading and blending as well as how to use a reference photo to achieve the desired affect.
I have had multiple art teachers over the years who have all come from different countries and backgrounds. Each one has taught me something different that has helped me become a better artist, and I look forward to sharing what they have taught me with the next generation of artists.
I believe art should be fun and exciting and with as few boundaries as possible. This means using materials considered “unconventional,” such as glitter, rhinestones, sequins, and anything else that inspires you. When it comes to art there is no limit to what you can accomplish.Reviews
