In this class, I will be teaching you how to paint a simple Loose Watercolor Sunset Sky by using mainly the wet on wet technique. I will teach you basic watercolor techniques and layering and will demonstrate how to paint this watercolor sky! This class is perfect for beginners and beyond.

A former art teacher and now an independent full-time artist, I am so excited to be teaching on Skillshare and I truly hope you find this corner of your space comforting, inspiring, and encouraging! Can't wait to connect with you all!
