‘Charlie’ a commissioned watercolor

It brings me such a deep sense of peace to be able to help someone comfort a grieving friend with a portrait of their beloved companion. This is Charlie, and I wanted to capture those soulful, expressive eyes and the soft, curly golden coat that made him so unforgettable. I hope this painting brings a little bit of solace and warmth to his family.

Whether you’re starting fresh in Level 1 or leveling up your technique in Level 2, here is a sneak peek at what students learn:

*Water-to-Paint Ratios: Mastering the “sweet spot” of moisture so your washes flow smoothly without blooming or muddying.

*Basic Value Management: Creating a strong sense of light and shadow.

*Layering & Glazing: Building luminous, transparent depth through deliberate washes.

*Edge Control: Knowing when to create crisp, hard edges versus soft, lost edges to guide the viewer’s eye.

*Refining Details: Balancing intentional, tighter focal points with expressive elements.

Daisy, watercolor
This cheerful, gentle-eyed donkey proudly nibbling on a fresh white daisy brings an instant smile to my face. This one might be a good project for my students. What do you think?

Grace in the Wild, watercolor

Growing up, I was adventurous, curious, and determined to keep up with all the wild fun my older brothers had, yet I remained a girl who held fast to her girly graces. The tiger lily perfectly mirrors that beautiful tension. Grace in the Wild is a celebration of that balance—a visual reminder that we can run wild, chase adventures, and bloom defiantly in the most ordinary places, all while carrying our own distinct elegance.
