This class will become available for non-members to purchase in January, 2026.

Want to actually use your watercolor supplies on your travel adventures? This class is for you!

In this beginner-friendly watercolor class, you’ll learn how to paint confidently outdoors using simple techniques, a portable setup, and a creative mindset that makes sketching on location feel fun - not intimidating. Whether you’re brand new to plein-air painting or looking to make art a bigger part of your travels, you’ll walk away with the skills to capture meaningful memories in your sketchbook.

You’ll discover:

• My go-to travel watercolor supplies

• How outdoor painting differs from studio painting

• Easy composition tricks for choosing a paintable scene

• What to paint when everything feels overwhelming

• How to combine ink and watercolor

• Tools for quieting your inner critic so you can create confidently

We’ll paint three Tetons-inspired projects, each focused on one travel-painting technique:

Project 1 - Colter Bay: Use a simple zig-zag composition to break down a complex landscape.
Project 2 - Wildflowers: Choose one small subject and explore marks, color, and play.
Project 3 - Grazing Bison: Zoom in and simplify to make plein-air painting approachable anywhere.

All you need is a watercolor sketchbook, a water brush, a small palette, and a waterproof ink pen. A full supplies list is included inside the class!
