Hello! My name is Sarah. I'm a full-time artist and photographer living in the Highlands of Scotland. I moved here from Colorado, where my painting journey began. I specialize in landscape painting with watercolor and gouache. I also love drawing, acrylics, and oil painting. I'm one of those artists who likes to "do it all!" But what really gets me excited is painting or drawing outside. I love to hike and paint what I see. It is my primary focus and what truly drives me to create.
My days are spent painting and teaching others. I provide educational content on several platforms in addition to Skillshare, such as Youtube, Gumroad, and Patreon. I have also self published three books.
What makes my classes special? As a self-taught painter, I know the struggles of what it's like to learn a new art skill and I know how to get through it. So as I explain and demonstrate my techniques I am always thinking about how to best communicate in the most universally understandable way.
My Teaching Style
I truly believe that everyone has the ability to express themselves, but sometimes we just need a little help. My goal as a teacher is for students to take away a deeper understanding of the subject, rather than just copy something they see on screen. Understanding the “why” allows you to continue your studies and develop your techniques with a solid foundation.
