My name is Maura and I’ve been fascinated by watercolors my entire life. I love the translucent hues, blurs and blooms it creates and have been painting with it ever since I was introduced to it in high school. My favorite subjects to paint are pets, horses, plants and flowers and I have been teaching myself how to bring these subjects to life with watercolor for years. Now I am applying my professional teaching experience to help others master this beautiful, delicate and sometimes difficult medium. I hope that by demonstrating some of the core techniques and my own tips and tricks in these classes I can help you improve your watercolor work.
I live in the Netherlands and really enjoy the variety of plants, flowers and animals we have here. I often paint from pictures I took myself, or of client photographs for commissions. I occasionally paint famous horses, such as the beautiful Wilfred (owned by Olivia Towers).
If you are interested in my work I encourage you to follow me on Instagram (@fineartbymaura), where I regularly share updates on my work, tips and tricks surrounding watercolors. If you have any specific course requests or suggestions, please reach out to me in the discussions of my classes or on instagram.
