Hi! My name is Amaya and I'm an artist & video creator!

Ever since I started painting with watercolors about four years ago, they have been my favorite art medium. After using them for a while, I’ve learned a lot about these paints and I am now able to share my experience with others. In this class I will walk you through everything I know about watercolors at the most basic levels, as well as show you my own painting process.

 What I will go over in this class:

  • Types of watercolor paints
  • Watercolor paper
  • Brushes
  • Tape & Masking Fluid
  • Techniques (Flat washes, dry brushing, lifting, etc.)
  • Full watercolor painting process

Here are a couple of my watercolor paintings

At the end of the class, you'll see the full process of the painting above!

If you have any questions at all, be sure to ask me in the discussions page!
