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!

Frequently Asked Questions


Will I need to buy pink paint for this watercolor?
Yes you might if you don't already have a tube or pan of pink. I recommend getting Opera Rose and/or Quinacridone Magenta.
When does the course start and finish?
This course is a self-paced course, which means you get to go through it at a time that fits your schedule.
How long do I have access to this course?
This course is only available to members of the Drawing & Watercolor Bundle, or The Art Academy. Members will have access to this course until they cancel their subscription.
Do I need to go through Watercolor Painting for Beginners before starting this course?
I strongly recommend going through Watercolor Painting for Beginners before going through this course. That's because this is an advanced course, which means it's a continuation of what I teach in my Watercolor Painting for Beginners course. This course walks you through an advanced painting strategy step-by-step, and all the information on how to use the tools and techniques for this course are taught in the foundational course.
What do I need for supplies?
All supplies are explained in my Watercolor Painting for Beginners course in the: Intro to Tools and Workspace module. You can also find a downloadable material list in that module that you can print out and use as a reference.
If I'm unhappy with the course can I get a refund?
No, due to the digital nature of this course there are no refunds. All sales are final.
