My class Watercolor Journey is especially for you who admires traditional watercolorists but who wants to be more loose and contemporary in your approach.
If you find sketching, perspective painting, careful shadowing and copying boring, but want to learn tips and tricks to let watercolors do half the work for you, you don’t want to miss this class!

Fascinating to watch and so satisfying! Beautiful result.
Thank you, Rae Lynn!
A Birthday Party in the Countryside. I see a banner strung between trees, flowers blooming under the tree and party tables set up for the guest of honor. The tables are dressed in delightful purple covers and excitement is in the air. The colors tell me it’s a very happy, warm summer day. What a delightful party is going on in my laptop while I drink my coffee and share in the happy moments. Thank you Paivi for a few beautiful moments without the horrors of the news that sink back inside me. I really needed your watercolor today. Bless you!
Thank you, Mary! Your description is beautiful, and art truly can bring sunshine to our days.
Beautiful, thanks Paivi
Thank you, Nancy!
The words about art really spoke to me, in addition to the painting! Thank you!
Thank you, Karyl!
Beautiful to watch you paint Paivi! Your enthusiasm, joy and love for Art is so free flowing. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you, Mairim! Enthusiasm, freedom, and flow are exactly the words that inspire me so I am happy if it shows in my expression!
A big surprise how a concrete picture can change into such a wonderful abstract painting!
Thank you, Florenel! I often start stiffly but get looser as the painting progresses.
This video makes me extra happy to be in your watercolor class!
