Join me in my beautiful Autumn Pumpkin Wreath class filled with vibrant Fall leaf and berry colors brought to life in watercolor. If you love to ink then you can grab your favorite pen and continue on in the class to take the inking steps with me. In this piece we explore watercolor basics that are suitable for all levels of creatives.

With a variety of pumpkin colors, vibrant Fall leaves, multi-colored berries, vines, twigs and more, this is great to paint as a display piece or use as a learning and practice piece in your sketchbook. You could also take elements of the wreath and paint them as cards, invitations, or place settings at your table.

While teaching I demonstrate, explain, and offer close-up videos in real time to assist in the learning process. Feel free to stop and re-watch these videos, and speed up or slow down the speed along the way, to complete each step and make your experience the way you feel most comfortable. The skills you’ll learn will easily transfer to your future artwork and elevate your painting abilities, and boost your confidence.
