• Observational Sketch and Watercolor Class for Beginners:
I teach tools and techniques rather than give step-by-step directions so the content you choose to paint is very open. I encourage students to make their paintings truly their own by adding elements and colors of their choosing, even if they don't directly reflect the source material.
Don’t worry. I’ll teach you how to break things down and give you the tools and techniques you need to have confidence in your artistic abilities!

No experience is needed! I’ll guide you through the steps and teach techniques that will help you capture the essence of the subject.
I’ve had a lot of students who think that they don’t have any artistic talent and say they ‘can only draw stick figures’ take the class and they’ve all walked away surprised at what they were able to create!

I will have several reference images available to choose from but feel free to bring an image of something you’d like to paint.
Images students have painted include pets, family members, houses, vacation locations, and landscapes.

Open to all ages who can follow instruction.

Come relaxed and bring a friend! The idea behind the class is to loosen up, have fun, learn techniques that will help you develop your own style and see the world in a new way!

Sometimes, it’s nice to take a break from the daily grind and do something that just lets you relax and have fun. On Monday, January 21st, from 6:00–8:00pm, I’m hosting a casual, no-pressure sketch and watercolor class at my studio, Holmes Watercolors, and I’d love for you to join!

This isn’t about perfecting a masterpiece or turning you into an artist overnight—it’s about taking a moment to slow down and enjoy the process of creating. Whether you’ve never picked up a brush before or haven’t drawn in years, the goal is to just let go and have fun with the colors and textures.

We’ll explore some easy techniques to make watercolor feel intuitive, and I’ll show you how to break things down into simple steps. No need to worry about making it "right"—just experiment with shapes, colors, and whatever feels fun to you!
I’ll have plenty of reference images to choose from if you want inspiration, or feel free to bring your own—a pet, a favorite vacation spot, or something else that speaks to you.

The best part? You’ll leave feeling surprised by what you’ve created, even if you came in thinking you couldn’t draw a thing. There’s no rush, no judgment, just space to unwind and discover something new. Plus, all supplies are provided, so you can just show up and dive in.

If you're looking for a creative, low-stress way to spend a couple of hours with a friend or on your own, this class is for you. No expectations, just good vibes and the chance to see the world through a slightly more colorful lens.

Come join us!
