Painting with Watercolors: From Inspiration to Fashion Illustration

Monica it's so great to see you here! I watch you every week. Great sketches - this class is so uplifting and motivating!

Hi Kimberly! I am so proud of myself that I found time to sketch this week! Now onto painting!

Love the vintage looks! So awesome to be "in class" together :) I love your website!

Love the picture with the flowy black skirt and the Eiffel Tower!

Nice to see you here, Heather! I thought I would have some fun-even though I am teaching as well! Ack! Always trying to be a student! 

Yay! A familiar face - ha ha! I feel like I know you since I follow you on twitter and Instagram (and your website, of course). :) Really loving these looks. Especially the woman in front of the Eiffel tower. Just lovely. Are you as excited about this course as I am?!

Hi Sarah, So nice to see you! yes, I am looking forward to it. I love online courses as it is...I think with this I needed to have some fun and challenge myself and carve out some time to create art. I am trying to work painting into my schedule more!

I didn't draw this last one on watercolor paper, I usually draw on sketch paper and then paint the actual watercolor using a light box. I am trying to LOOSEN up! I tried 2 pairs of glasses on my Paris &nbsp; Girl. &nbsp; &nbsp;
