Classes

I have multiple opportunities for you to learn various techniques and skills related to painting with watercolor. Instruction is available in person or online via Zoom. If you have questions about any of the classes, please use the form at the bottom of this page.

Eva’s watercolor classes are so supportive for new students and experienced students as well. When I started, she was so encouraging, and showed me that mistakes can be transformed into beauty. Often, I came away from class, feeling more confidence in my painting and happy in my heart. “

You will learn washes, color, ‘wet on wet’ and ‘wet on dry’ techniques and more.

Instruction Type

I have so enjoyed my classes with Eva over the past year. I now understand the basics and feel more confident to try new things. Eva has a wonderful sense of color, perspective, and overall balanced symmetry. Her instructions are easy to follow but it needs practice like any new skill. So glad I recently retired so I have time to discover my creative side. I am glad to see she has added Zoom lessons to her repertoire.
