Beginner - Advanced Level
Welcome to Mrs. D's Art Room where it is always a good day when you are learning something new. In this weekly club, young artists will use step-by-step instructions to draw and paint simple, fun, and easy watercolor artwork using advanced techniques and new drawings each week! There are a couple of basic ways to paint with watercolor. The wet-on-wet method is typically used for painting landscapes, simple skies, or soft watercolor washes because the effect gives us a nice flowy look that can be applied in different ways. We’re adding wet paint to a wet surface.

We will use flat and round watercolor brushes while painting. I will use a dual-screen so that kids can see me drawing with them throughout class. If learners are familiar with using canvas they are welcome to use canvas for this painting. I will use watercolor paper for this demo project. The young artist will be encouraged to make their artwork unique and complete it independently if they are not finished in class. I pace our class based on the student’s abilities, so we will go slower or faster depending on how they are doing. No experience is needed for this class; learners will follow my directions. Hope to see you soon!

Hello and Welcome, Outschoolars! I’m Mrs. D! I’m so grateful to be considered a part of your young artist's creative journey!
I teach a variety of art classes that delve into color theories, color wheels, and harmonious color schemes, all designed to bring human figures, landscapes, and canvas paintings to life through easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions. My passion lies in exploring different styles and techniques of art while embracing Art Theory.
As a professional artist with a bachelor's degree in Fine Arts, I've had the joy of participating in numerous art exhibitions at my public art center and library. I've shared my love for art by teaching various art forms, crafts, and card making to elementary school students and Girl Scouts as a volunteer. My commitment to sharing art with my community is unwavering.
With 5 years of experience teaching 1:1 art classes online and in person to children aged 4 to 14, I’ve had the privilege of instructing young artists from around the globe. I’m incredibly excited to expand my teaching on a larger platform while continuing to make a difference from the comfort of my home.
