Watercolor Art Series
Watercolor & Mixed Media Art Classes
The Simply Watercolor Series is a series of playful, colorful, and whimsical watercolor tutorials. These tutorials are designed for the beginner watercolor artist, but don’t let that stop you from joining in the fun if you’re more advanced.
In each lesson, I will guide you through a step-by-step tutorial to paint a whimsical watercolor creation that can be cut out and used in your art journal, handmade greeting card, swap item, and more.
Each lesson will include an in-depth focus on a watercolor technique, an addition of a mixed media element, and a helpful tip for beginners. These lessons are designed to make watercolor fun and accessible.
