A watercolor teacher - The CreativeMindClass Blog
"You'll often hear me repeat variations of this phrase while I instruct: we go from big to small -meaning bigger brush to small brush, tight to loose, light to dark. It's key to begin with joy and excitement and a loose strategy before allowing the piece to speak directly to you in the direction it would like you to go."
Watercolor painting tips:
- From big to tiny brush
- Go from loose movements to tight ones
- Change from lighter to darker colors
My personal background
"I was that quiet girl at the back of the class, drawing in her sketchbook. There hasn't been much change since. At one point I had burned out on my creativity, but having a baby brought me back to watercolor painting. I rediscovered myself by combining art with my faith-based practice. This led me to create "Watercolor Devo's." They inspired me to begin being a creative educator as well as a full-time artist."

What would you say about your style of watercolor?
"I cannot resist the fun, bold or pink. A touch of vintage quirk or tension in the visual is usually my goal when I'm drawing. Most importantly I enjoy bringing the very best in watercolor onto the page--relishing in vibrant bleeds of bold hues."
