Hi, I'm Tracy!

I'm a watercolor artist from Southern Maine, United States. I have a passion for painting with watercolors, and teaching others the traditional fine art techniques that have been passed down to me.

Most importantly I want to have fun when I paint, and to share that fun with those who enjoy creating art:-)

I'm here to help you develop your own unique style, while learning how to draw, paint, and sell your art!

Want to learn more about me, and my journey to becoming a professional artist? Check out my About Page.


Students are encouraged to use what they learned in Watercolor Painting for Beginners to combine reference sources with their imagination to put their own unique spin on their composition in this advance course!

Student's Artwork:

It's time to crack out the masking fluid to build up lots of layers in reverse!

Wondering how that works? 🤔

Give this course a try, and discover a fun new way of painting layers with watercolors.
