If you enjoyed my Loose Watercolor Flowers class, this continuation takes everything you learned there and pushes it further. We move beyond simple florals and dive deeper into the mindset, timing, and techniques that make loose watercolor painting come alive.

This class is all about freeing your brushwork, embracing spontaneity, and learning to work with watercolor instead of trying to control every drop. Whether you’re just starting out or already paint regularly, you’ll find a ton of practical, actionable guidance that builds on the foundation from the first class.

What You’ll Learn

Advanced loose watercolor techniques:
Strengthen the skills from the flower class and apply them to more dynamic, expressive subjects.

Wet-into-wet mastery:
Go beyond the basics as we explore purposeful softness, controlled chaos, and how to let paint merge beautifully.

Timing that actually makes sense:
Understand the small but crucial decisions that determine whether your painting blooms, blends, or falls flat.

How to loosen up—intentionally:
We’ll focus on movement, edge control, color transitions, and breaking free from stiff brushwork.

Mindset and confidence-building:
Release perfectionism, trust the medium, and learn when to stop so your work stays fresh instead of overworked.

Why Take This Class

Watercolor can be magical—and occasionally infuriating—but it rewards painters who understand flow, timing, and letting go. This class strips away the pressure and gives you the tools to paint with ease, energy, and confidence.

If you want to:

Break free from tight, rigid painting
