Welcome! My name is Shaina Stinard and I am a Fine Artist based in South Carolina. I can't wait to share some of my watercolor techniques on YUPO paper!

Originally from the Roanoke Valley, I received my B.A. in Art from Virginia Tech. I then went on to receive my MAT and taught elementary school for the next 8 years, in Norfolk, VA. Since moving and having my daughter, I decided to start my own business and get back into my art. For the last 10 years I have been working as a professional artist out of my home studio and teaching Art at the local High School.

I specialize in watercolor on YUPO paper creating custom paintings of people, pets and places from photos. My style can be described as vibrant, crisp, and expressive. I stay busy working on custom commissions and teaching. Prints of my work are also sold online at fineartamerica.com. Through successful campaigns on Kickstarter, I have also been able to self-published three books of my artwork: Masterpiece Your Memories, Second Chances, and Sketch The World.

Being an animal lover, I work closely with many animal rescues, donating custom portraits to raise funds for animals in need as often as possible.

I plan on teaching a few classes on Skillshare including: Intro to Watercolor Painting on YUPO, 7 Ways to Create Texture, Basic Color Mixing, Intro to Mixed Media on YUPO, Pet Sketching, Travel Sketching, Portraits, Watercolor Abstracts, and anything else I can think of to share! I will be walking you through a project with all of these classes. I can't wait to get started and I hope you will join me!
