A watercolorist - The CreativeMindClass Blog
"You'll often hear me chant variants of this phrase when I teach: we go from big to small -meaning bigger brush to small brush, loose to tight as well as dark to light. It's important to begin by having fun and enthusiasm and a loose strategy but allow the piece to talk back to you where it wants you to go."
Tips for painting with watercolor:
- From big to tiny brush
- Change between tight and loose moves
- From lighter to darker colors
My personal background
"I was that shy girl at the rear of the class with her eyes buried in a sketchbook. Not much has changed since. There was a time when I felt a creative burnout, but being a mother brought me back to watercolor painting. I rediscovered myself through combining my art and faith-based practice. This led me to create "Watercolor Devo's." They inspired me to begin becoming a creative instructor as well as a full-time artist."

What would you say about your watercolor style?
"I can't get away from the fun, bold or bright pink. A touch of vintage quirk or tension visuals are often my focus as I'm working. Most importantly I love bringing the best of watercolor to the page--relishing in vibrant bleeds of bold hues."
