"You'll frequently hear me sing variations of this phrase as I teach: we go from large to small,meaning bigger brush to small brush, tight to loose as well as dark to light. It's important to begin with excitement and joy by following a loose outline but let the piece speak and guide you to where it would like you to go."
Watercolor painting tips:
- From big to small brush
- Change between tight and loose moves
- From lighter to darker colors
My personal background
"I was that quiet girl at the middle of the class, drawing in her sketchbook. Nothing has changed in the last few years. There was a time when I felt burned out on my creativity, but becoming a mom called me back to the art of watercolor. I rediscovered myself through combining my art and spiritual practice, and created "Watercolor Devo's." The work inspired me to being a creative educator and a full time artist."

How would you describe your watercolor style?
"I can't get away from the vibrant, fun or pink. A touch of vintage quirk or tension in the visual is usually my primary focus when working. However, most importantly, I like to bring the best of watercolor to the canvas, with vibrant bleeds of bold hues."
