The bonus of online art classes is that they provide flexibility for people to learn according to their own schedules and comfort levels.

Watercolor Classes Online

If you love watercolors, you can learn them!  Grow in a fun and relaxed environment. A mixture of in-class activity and instruction. Students will learn foundational art theory as well as further explore how to compose their paintings, best use watercolors and make decisions about the placement of objects. 

You'll also have access to an online forum where we will exchange ideas, ask questions and get in-process feedback as we are working on our projects.

This class will get you painting each week and moving forward in your art skills. Having a regular art class to attend online or in person keeps artists learning and provides a creative community. Hope you decide to explore the joy of watercolors together!

Online Zoom Group Classes for advanced and beginner students.

Weekend Workshops

If 8 weeks seems too much at the moment, try one of our Weekend Workshops ...

Get Comfortable

I teach by introducing a lesson or topic, giving examples and then working on a piece together. It is a collaborative and fun time of learning. 

Sharpen Skills

​Each week, we will have a small amount of homework completing the assignments begun in class. Students will then bring their pieces back to share and discuss at the next class. 

Whatever Your Dream

We will explore foundational art theory that can be applied to careers in any visual art field or just for enrichment and fun!
