A watercolor teacher The CreativeMindClass Blog
"You'll often hear me chant variations of this phrase while I instruct: we go from large to small,meaning the larger brush is smaller brush, tight to loose, light to dark. It's important to begin with joy and excitement and a loose strategy but let the piece speak directly to you in the direction it would like you to go."
Watercolor painting tips:
- Start with a big brush and then a small brush
- Change from loose movements to tight ones
- From light to dark colors
My personal background
"I was the quiet kid who sat at the rear of the class nose deep in a sketchbook. There hasn't been much change since. At one point I had burned out on my creativity, but being a mother brought me back to the art of watercolor. I rediscovered myself through combining my art and religious practice. I created "Watercolor Devo's." The work inspired me to becoming a creative instructor and a full time artist."

How would you describe the style of your watercolor?
"I can't get away from the vibrant, fun or bright pink. A touch of vintage quirk or tension in the visual is usually my primary focus when working. But most of all, I like to bring the best of watercolor to the paper, letting it flow in vivid bleeds of bold hues."
