Who is this course for:

All levels of artists should feel welcome in this watercolor painting class. I cover the information step by step, so that beginners will feel comfortable. But techniques can always be improved upon and advanced artists can also discover new methods of painting they may not have tried before.

Why learn with me:

I've dedicated over two decades to learning art, and I'm still as passionate about it as I was when I first began. I love creating art, but I'm also equally passionate about sharing my knowledge through teaching. For the past decade, I've had the privilege of guiding others on their paths to better drawing and painting. I've learned how to cater to many learning styles along the way and I'd love the pleasure of helping you on your unique art journey.

How will this course help me in my life, personally and professionally?

Painting watercolor digitally in Procreate I've found is really fun, but also extremely therapeutic. Painting helps you enter into an almost meditative state at times, helping you forget worries you may have.

If you have interest in art licensing or illustrative work, then learning how to paint in Procreate will help you on your way to becoming a well rounded, art professional.

How is the course taught?

This class is taught mostly through top down demonstrations. There is also a second view from a side angle. Occasionally, slides are also used to convey points.

How do I improve my art?

Improving your skills in art is a journey that never truly ends. The key to progress lies in the simple yet effective mantra: LEARN and PRACTICE, a cycle you'll follow throughout your artistic life.

My approach to learning involves a blend of reading art books and participating in art classes, both in-person and online. These resources provide valuable insights and techniques to fuel your artistic growth.

I've adopted the mindset of a lifelong student. I've observed that when I stay away from the learning process for too long, my work tends to plateau, or even decline. Recognizing this, I understand the importance of immersing myself in new knowledge from time to time. This usually involves joining art classes, reading creative blogs, and watching art videos.

Once I've gathered fresh insights or revisited existing knowledge with a new perspective, the next step is to put it into practice. I create painting studies, whether from life, photographs, or memory, to test and apply the ideas I've learned. This practical application is where the true growth occurs.

Progress comes from a simple commitment to continuous learning and dedicated practice. This approach ensures that you'll consistently evolve as an artist and always be improving your art skills.
