I don’t know about you, but everyday feels like a Friday and I have been eating way too many snacks and drinking far more teas than usual. This social isolation isn’t a big deal for me since I work from home and am used to spending quite a bit of time at my desk and my studio, however, I’m on a mission to arm my readers, followers and subscribers with as much creative, fun, joy-filled distraction as possible!

Which means I’ve been busy filming videos, tutorials and classes to help you at whatever stage you are at in your explorative, creative journey. I’m hoping to give you a welcomed distraction from news, social media and Netflix!

If you are a member of Skillshare, I’ve just hit publish on my newest watercolor for beginners class; Watercolor Leaves: how to easily paint multiple styles & learn to layer leaves creating depth for an interesting piece of art that you can frame, digitize to use in your design work and enjoy painting over and over again!

When I am painting watercolor leaves, I fall into a meditative state that is both relaxing and joy filled. There’s just something gratifying about the brush strokes and movement of the paint that makes me want to layer, add movement and depths using watercolor and my favorite brush!

This class is perfect for beginners to intermediate watercolor enthusiasts! If you've had a little bit of watercolor instruction and have some experience with watercolor, this class is a great class to help get your confidence up and get painting right away!

This online watercolor class was designed to give you a taste of what painting with watercolors is like. If you are looking for a more in-depth watercolor course, have a look at this one that I release only a few times a year. It takes you from the very beginning, through various projects and strategically planned practice to help build your watercolor knowledge and experience.

I hope you check out the class on Skillshare if you are a member! If you’re not a member, you can get 2 months free with this special link.
