Class Experience

In this class, we will cover the basics of watercolor painting by learning to paint a variety of animals. Each week we will learn how to paint a different animal using basic watercolor techniques. Classes will begin with a brief overview of the supplies needed for our lesson (paintbrushes, paint colors, etc.) and then we'll get straight to painting! Learners will watch and follow along as we paint each animal step-by-step, but they are welcome to get as creative as they like by adding their own flair to their artwork. Most of the class time will be taken up by painting, but questions and discussions are encouraged! There will be time at the end to show off our finished artwork.

There's no need to worry about doing things perfectly in this course! As long as you're having fun, you're painting the right way.

Required materials include: canvas (thick poster paper will work too), watercolors, pencil, paper towels, and a paintbrush

Teacher expertise and credentials
I am a professional baker and I teach beginning painting and baking classes that are easy to follow along with! I like to keep classes short and sweet so even those with shorter attention spans can enjoy them. We focus on having fun with the journey rather than worrying too much about the finished product. I find that when you have enjoy the painting process, you tend to end up with a painting that makes you happy! My pets may make appearances during our classes (and sometimes I'll even bring out my pet lizard Watson to paint with us!).
