Welcome to The Painting Panda Classroom where we'll create, bend and wave our brushes like bamboo, and learn our own styles within the realm of Watercolor! This is a progressive style class, starting at the basics and working our way to more challenging projects. Each class builds on the previous one, so we can see the improvement within each learner's art skills. Watercolor is relaxing, reflective, and persuasive when it comes to painting mediums and I encourage such creativity with zen like background music for each class. With many ways to "do watercolor" I've decided to include a few with techniques, practice sessions, background history, as well as examples for each class. I love using tablet paints, tube paints, watercolor pencils, water brushes, and liquid water colors, watercolor inks, and will demonstrate through the classes how each works and reacts to what I am teaching. As such demonstrations, your learner doesn't have to use everything I do, but can if so desires. We will covering the following: washes and back ground layering blending and techniques learning how to control water so the paper stays flat shade scaling to actually get different shades and tints textures in all their glory pre-drawing plans learn how to make/keep/use a sketch pad or watercolor journal learn how to make and use a re-usable on the go watercolor palette and put it all together to create beautiful artwork to share with family and friends

Teacher expertise and credentials
This has been one of my more popular classes I've offered to my local Homeschool group, local community during the summer, and even with my adult private lessons. I love teaching watercolor, it's a fun fluid medium where you can be incredibly creative. My favorite part about teaching art classes is when I get to see the world through the eyes of the students by viewing their interpretations of the assignments I give them in class.
