See you soon at 10 am PST!

For this class I thought it would be a good idea to talk about some of the things I’m hearing from you in the chat. How to find your own style, release imposter syndrome, find your artistic voice and different ways to approach the beginning of a painting so the blank paper isn’t so scary.

What to bring: any paints, paper and brushes you like best. This class is going to be all about what you are drawn to. Also: if you have any colored pencils, pastels, gouache etc. that you want to experiment with while we explore these ideas, grab those too! I’m so excited to dive into this topic with you.

How live classes work: This link will go live at 10am PST and you will be able to click the link and join the class live from this post. Classes are always recorded and available to watch any time, so come if you can but we love our replay crew!

Let me know if you have any questions.

Below I have attached a file showing famous artists and their style evolution

Good Morning, Thank you for doing this live stream. I unfortunately can't attend the live portion, but I will catch the replay after my mom's Dr. Appt. Have a wonderful class everyone.

I can hear you, coming at you from Georgia

Becky Wilding

Did anyone else get the message that the video is unavailable? In the last five minutes? I hope I can join the class!

Don't overwork the paper.

Susan Troccolo

Ignore comments from well meaning friends who may not understand your concept!

Can you show a bird?

Is it "cheating" if someone draws the picture on the paper before painting it?

I am just exploring during your class with Caran d'Ache Watercolor Crayons. I purchased them in January while traveling. I can see they give a nice texture to rocks and buildings.

Josie Shigeno

What flat brush did you use in the live?

Fun class…I took away a couple of things: 1. As a novice photographer, having taken online classes from the same instructor since 2012 (?), I know the rules…and you can break those too, and still create a great image…but I do think you have to know the rules first. Same with watercolor. 2. I use many photography editing apps to create some of my images….not all; I’m usually pretty straightforward with my editing. But I’ve learned to be creative over the years. I’m not there with watercolor yet. It was hard to “make marks on the paper”, “play”, etc…with no real plan. When we started making something (I did trees…🤷🏻‍♀️), it was easier. I made a strawberry I really like, especially the green/(red bleed) top…and single stand up leaves…not your normal strawberry leaves…but I like it. It took time to find my creativity in photography; I’m guessing it will take time with watercolor also. I haven’t even been doing this for a year yet…so, giving grace [to self] each day. I’ll post my “crew cut” strawberry in Chat. Thanks for the lesson!!

Such a valuable class! Thank you!

Replay crew - between teaching classes on Wednesdays & dodging tornados/storms here in KY, finally got a chance to watch this lesson. I tend to like a lighter, more transparent & precise style, sort of like Luella, but I was very drawn to the strawberry with the watercolor pastels. Never heard of watercolor pastels until this class! I learn things every single time - thank you!
