Recent reviews of Paint and Sip Watercolor Painting Class

  • 5/5 from Tina Esposito, attended Aug 2026: Shannon is a skilled instructor, and welcoming host. I learned about mixing water with paints, brush techniques, and all the while in a cozy setting with iced coffee and rosè, what could be bad?

Shannon is a passionate calligrapher, watercolor artist, and graphic designer who has been creating art since she could hold a pencil. As a proud graduate of the University of Michigan’s art school, she’s always had a love for bringing unique, personal touches to her work. She believes that personalization instantly makes an item special and making a handmade card is an act of love. When she’s not immersed in art, you’ll find her spending time with her adorable corgi, Piper, or jamming out to Fleetwood Mac. She’s excited to share her love for typography with students and help them explore their own creative journeys!
