About the Artist

SWPortrait

Hi! I’m Sarah: former art teacher, lifelong creative, and professional artist. Over the years, I’ve had many requests for watercolor classes, but life conspired and I never got it done.

 

Well now I’m ready! I tried to think about everything I wished I knew starting out, and I’ve added all that into the plan. These classes will take you from absolute beginner to confident watercolorist, and we’ll do it all in person, in very small groups (max of 6/class), from the cosy comfort of my firelit home in Sherwood Park, Alberta, Canada.

Description

Looking for an in-depth weekend beginner-level course? Wish you could learn MORE of the basics in a relaxed atmosphere without the time crunch? This 8-hour course is perfect! You’ll gather with up to 5 new friends around the fireplace for two afternoons of fun and creativity as we explore the magical medium of watercolors. Bring your wine (or whatever you like to drink) and I’ll supply the glasses.

Topics for this class include …

  • An exploration of paints, brushes, and paper, including my preferred brands;
  • Various watercolor techniques and when to use them;
  • Experiments with the materials and practice of the techniques discussed;
  • Mark making for our projects;
  • Three simple projects that will allow you to create loose florals, a landscape, and an animal;
  • My own tips and tricks as a professional artist, and coaching as you paint.

You’ll also get to see me paint, and I’ll talk you through my methods. You’ll leave proudly with three projects under your belt, some ideas to take home, new friends, and the joy of having learned a new skill. Reserve your spot now — classes are capped at 6!
