Watercolor Painting Experience Gifts
Every Saturday afternoon, your kitchen table transforms into an art studio -- and all it takes is a brush, some paint, and a Zoom link! This weekly watercolor painting course meets Saturdays from 2–3:30 pm Central Time and is open to anyone 16 and up, whether you've never touched a paintbrush or just want a cozy, creative activity to look forward to each week. No previous experience is needed -- this class was built for real people who are curious about how to paint with watercolors and just need a welcoming place to start!
Each session, you'll paint step-by-step alongside your instructor, exploring watercolor ideas across landscapes, botanicals, still lifes, fruits, vegetables, and more. Most projects wrap up in a single class, so you're never locked into a long commitment. Life gets busy -- if you need to skip a week or a month, that's totally fine. You can even request a recording if something comes up last-minute, and any missed payment rolls over as a credit.
Joining is simple: just reach out before signing up so your instructor can point you to the perfect start date and get you a supply list. From there, you show up, you paint, you exhale. This is one of those online things to do that genuinely fills your cup!
Zoom Links: I send the Zoom links to the email you give me when you sign up here. If I do not see an email for you, I will send you a message. I will also send the reference photos that we use for projects in class to the email you provide as a PDF for you to print out if you wish.
Missing classes: I can record the class and share the video with you. Please let me know to do so at least 10 minutes before the class starts. If you paid for the class and need to miss, you can use that payment as a credit for a future class.

I have a BFA in watercolor painting from the American Academy of Art in Chicago. When I first enrolled I planned to study illustration, but everything changed when I was introduced to watercolor. I was captivated. It’s a medium that’s often seen as unpredictable or difficult, but I found that it could be tamed and shaped. You can learn to make it do exactly what you want it to do. The challenge and balance of control and spontaneity, is what keeps me coming back. Besides teaching, I am a nationally exhibited and internationally published fine artist.
One of the most rewarding things about teaching is hearing my students say, “I felt so relaxed, ” or “I forgot about everything else for a little while.” I love that. Helping people carve out time for creativity and find calm in the process is such a gift. My classes are about more than just technique, they’re about slowing down, getting into a flow, and discovering what watercolor can do for you.
Watercolor has a reputation for being unforgiving, but I love showing people how it can actually be incredibly freeing. Mistakes often become part of the beauty. It’s not about perfection—it’s about letting go a little and learning how to work with the paint rather than against it. My goal is to demystify the medium and make it approachable, even for absolute beginners.
I have been teaching ever since graduating in 2018, and I founded my business in 2022. With years of experience and hundreds of students, I’ve taught everyone from total beginners to returning artists. My online classes attract adult students of all ages, and I’ve also led live sessions for groups and organizations looking for a creative, relaxing outlet. Whether it’s one-on-one or in a group setting, I strive to create a warm, welcoming space where people feel encouraged and inspired.
