The most important thing you bring to your art is YOU. If your heart for painting has gotten squashed by perfectionism, criticism or fear of failure, let me help you to find freedom to make art you truly love that reflects the beauty you long to share.
Watercolor Mastery Lesson Preview: My Story
|
Hello Reader, I took my first watercolour class when I was 18 years old, over 30 years ago, and yet I spend a lot of time thinking about where I've come from. My art today looks nothing like what I thought my art would become, and I'm so glad! As part of the introduction to Watercolour Mastery: Dynamic Value, I spent some time telling my story of how I got into watercolour, and then how I discovered that I had freedom to paint in the loose and fluid style that my art is known for. You can preview that part of the course by watching that artist's talk here: VIDEO LINK As you work to grow as an artist, I hope you also have points in your story that you look back on as pivotal; maybe now's the time. Let Watercolour Mastery: Dynamic Value be part of the transition you've been craving. Watercolor Mastery is open for enrollment here. Don't delay! Enrollment closes September 7th. I found structure, guidance, reinforcement, examples, demonstrations, techniques, artist friends and more in this course. If you are looking for a college level watercolor art course that offers more than you could expect without the pressure and stress, I suggest you sign up for Angela Fehr’s Watercolor Mastery Course. - Bari E growing and thriving, Angela |
Love your art journey!

Plein air painting can feel intimidating, so the key is to make it as accessible as possible. My friend Steve Puttrich says, "Even if you're just looking out your window and painting what you see, you're plein air painting."...
Hi artist, Watercolour is the hardest medium. How many of us started painting with that warning ringing in our ears? Maybe it made you doubt whether you had what it takes to be able to paint competently. Maybe it made you tighten your grip on the brush, working warily and ready to switch to damage control as soon as the painting took an unforeseen turn. How I wish we'd been told this instead: Watercolour thrives on the unexpected. I didn't realize until years into my watercolour journey that...
Dear Reader, There are three important elements to growth that all need to happen if you really want to feel a sense of ownership over your artistic practice.
