What type of class are you interested in most?
I love that despite these thoughts, they show up and by the end of the class, they prove their negative thoughts wrong. Doing something you are uncomfortable with and doing it anyways builds confidence.
1 Practice exercises to get familiar with your tools
2 Use your new skills to create a painting
Whether it is online or in-person, watercolour art workshops and programs always have two parts to them.
First, you will practice exercises to get familiar with your tools. Then you will put your new skills to use by creating your painting!
These events are developed to encourage a sense of community. By the time you complete the class, you’ll feel like you’ve met some new people and will walk out with a fully completed painting!

"I was really intimidated by watercolour and had avoided it for a long time. Finally I went for it and was so glad I did! Chloe's class equips you by first teaching you the basic skills you need, and then has you practice it and put it all together in the day's project artwork. I didn't have high expectations for myself, but after each piece was finished I felt so proud! So thankful to Chloe :)

"As a 63 year old with zero experience in creating any kind of art, I found Chloe and her course to be approachable, encouraging, informative, and effective in getting me going with water colour. I now feel confident moving forward with this art form and thank her for it! Thank you Chloe!"

"Looking forward to doing another class with you and others. It was so interesting how “connected “ to one another (and not even knowing them) I felt. It was like a meditation class or spiritual gathering .. 😂.. you know .. minimal words. Anyhow it felt sad saying goodbye. I wanted to say instead .. ok .. see ya next week .. 🥹🤗"
