We will how to use these watercolour techniques: - Wet on wet - wet on dry - Layering - Fine detail We will also do some basic drawing and cover lighting. This is a step by step class. I will paint along with my students and pause for questions after each step. For most of the class, my camera will be pointed at my painting and students will be able to observe what I do and follow along. After the class, students will be encouraged to send me a photo of their work for feedback. Parts of this painting are loose, so students will learn to let the watercolor lead them. Other parts of this painting are time sensitive so students will need to push themselves to focus and keep moving forward before things dry. A blowdryer may be needed help the painting dry between some steps. Some watercolour experience is recommended for this class, but not needed. The more experience a learner has the more successful the painting is likely to be.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree from Alberta College of Arts and Design
I love to teach art, and specialize in drawing (wide variety of styles and techniques), procreate, watercolour, and acrylic painting. When I teach, I like to lead by example. This means that I draw, paint and create with my students. Throughout class I make myself available for questions, assistance and feedback.
I’ve been teaching art for over 5 years, and I have been creating art professionally since 2011. I have illustrated marketing materials for Denny’s, Newman’s Own, Duane Reade, Discovery Children’s Museum, The Mendes Foundation and other clients.
I also have extensive experience in advertising. I’ve been working as an art director (now creative director) for over 17 years. I worked in New York City for 10 years, Cambodia for one, and I currently work remotely out of my home office in Canada. In my advertising career I've made TV commercials, print campaigns, radio spots, online ads, videos and billboards (even some in Time Square.) I love thinking of cool ideas and bringing them to life. I am excited to share this skill with my students.
I believe that art is more than an applicable workplace skill. Art is a form of healthy self-expression and personal reflection. I also believe that art teaches the importance of patience and persistence. It is an education for the mind and soul.
For me, art is meditative. I own dozens of sketchbooks filled with drawings I’ve done throughout the years. Many pages contains a memory, emotion, thought or experience. As a mother, I find additional inspiration through my daughter and new son.
Art is everywhere, if you look for it. Children especially have a gift for finding beauty in the world. I hope to harness this gift so every child in my class can find their own unique, artistic voice.Reviews
