We’ll learn to draw and paint a simple cupcake (including sprinkles!) sitting on a table using watercolor paints. Students will be encouraged to use complimentary paint colors and experiment with paint color properties as they mix. These skills will help the students to confidently choose colors in all their other art projects. We’ll chat about the color wheel, multiple brush techniques, good brush care habits, setting up supplies in the best ways, experimenting with color combinations, composition and more!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi! I hold a BFA from Jersey City University and have been teaching a range of art and craft classes for the last 15+ years. I am a fine artist as well as a street artist having completed large and small murals in and around my community.
In addition, I am also a certified life coach and know how to use a holistic approach to encourage my students. I love what I do! I believe that we are all artists and regardless of what a student has been told in the past (i.e. that art has to look like X or Y) I can help them see that all art has value.
I have taught in schools, at cultural centers, for private parties, and from my professional studio.Reviews
