Spring Watercolor Floral Painting
In this one-time class, students will learn some great and useful WC techniques including color mixing and get a good start on a floral painting that can be finished later. This is a relaxing hobby and a great skill.

I will be teaching how to achieve natural floral colors with watercolor paints, how to use various (soft) brushes and many techniques that will be useful in future watercolor classes. Students will get a start on their floral painting which will be 12" x 12" or smaller. They may finish it in class or they may want to take their time and finish it on their own. Either way they will know the techniques to use. Student can ask questions, show their progress and watch my demonstrations. I will use a document camera while painting, so everything will be able to be seen clearly. Materials listed below:
Learning Goals
The students will learn valuable watercolor techniques that can be used in the future.

3.)
My philosophy of teaching focuses on inclusion, kindness and becoming a well-rounded person.
I believe everyone has the ability to grow and improve themselves when given experiences that are encouraging, safe and led with experienced and confident teachers.
In my teaching I use terms/vocabulary, history references and love to show examples so my students get the big picture and see how what they are learning about relates to their own life.
It’s been my life goal to share what I know and become a lifelong learner myself.
4.) I love gardening, cooking, animals, arts, crafts, jewelry design, music and interior design. I play musical instruments by ear, perform with my husband Mike in our duo The Shockitanos, create homemade plant-based home and health products and love meeting new people.
