Materials
We use the same simple materials each week to keep your life easy:
📋 Watercolor paper (2 per class)
🎨 Watercolor paint & brush
🌊 Cup of water, small towel
✏️ Pencil, eraser, sharpie, crayons
✂️ Scissors & tape (painters/masking)
🧂 Table salt & glue (sometimes)
✨ Two tablespoons of creativity
🛒 Pre-made Amazon List
A Typical Class
Each lesson starts with a creative warm up. I'll play a song on piano while you practice a technique of the day.
Next, we'll meet our subject: sometimes that takes us to a national park, other times we'll head back in time to meet a famous artist from history. Each week is a new adventure!
We spend the rest of class painting. You can follow along with me or see where your own inspiration takes you. Your painting doesn't have to look exactly like mine - and that's the fun part!
We end class with an art challenge - something for you to work on between now and next week - and a riddle. Can you guess what we're painting next week?

Hi Friend!
Art helps us relax and explore the world, but for many families, it's hard to find a great art class and even harder to get there consistently.
That's why I started Art Club - to make it easy for any family to fit art into their busy lives.
So whether you're juggling kids and carpools in the burbs or you live in a town without many art classes, I hope our weekly lessons can be a relaxing creative refuge for you and your family.
Happy painting!
