Winter Visitor
Join us for a relaxing watercolor class focused on painting a beloved winter favorite — a bright red cardinal perched on a white birch branch.
Cardinals hold special meaning for many people and are often seen as symbols of warmth, love, and connection, making this a meaningful and enjoyable subject to paint.
This class is beginner-friendly, though all experience levels are welcome. While the finished painting looks detailed, the project is broken down into approachable, step-by-step instruction so participants can feel confident and supported throughout the process. The focus is on enjoying the experience while learning essential watercolor skills. Participants will explore wet-on-wet and wet-on-dry techniques, learn how to create depth and soft shadows using underlying colors, and add simple details to bring the cardinal to life. The class is paced to allow time for questions and individual guidance as needed.
Each participant will leave with a completed 6x9 watercolor painting. All materials are included, including the drawing already prepared on the paper.

We will paint this beautiful 6x9 magnolia flower. I will walk you through basic techniques of washes, layering and adding ink to bring your artwork to life. No experience needed.
A BEE'S PARADISE
A fun and easy line & wash watercolor class. We will create a 5x7 painting of a tall purple flower cluster with a bee, using simple inked outlines and soft watercolor washes.

This is my easiest class yet perfect for beginners or anyone looking for a fun, stress-free creative experience.
