How do you feel when you create?
Hi, I'm Alyssa
I am in awe of the world around us and find overwhelming joy in the process of documenting it through pen and watercolor.
When I draw something, I get to look at it more closely than I ever have before. It's an excuse to bask in the beauty around me.
When I get to teach someone watercolor, I thrive off of their oohs and ahs as they discover the relief of slowing down and playing with paint.
For anyone looking to give watercolor an honest chance, I recommend making a habit of it. I've created a month's worth of easy tutorials so anyone can get started exploring watercolor.
Let customers speak for us
I searched for weeks on a sketched watercolor book online and locally. Nothing caught my eye or my level! I literally did watercolor once in a class recently and was hooked. The instructor was very good. But Alyssa's book and accompanying video directions are superlative for this brand new artist!! She is clear and concise and I am able to understand what she is doing. I cannot recommend this product enough for a beginner! I will buy all her books eventually!
these were Christmas gifts for my granddaughter who recently got a job in St Paul. She was thrilled when she opened them. She can see this from her window.
The format is easy to follow and well laid out. I really appreciate the details provided for each project.
Beautiful watercolor book with nice large, detailed designs. It arrived quickly and packaged nicely. I would recommend purchasing from this shop!
This is the best wreath class I have ever taken! I highly recommend.
I will definitely get other books!
got as a gift and they love it!
Simple and straightforward. Exactly what I was hoping it would be and I ended up with a lovely holiday card at the end! The only thing that could have made this better is to show examples of other wreaths made using the same technique but with different leaves, stems, berries, or flowers. Overall, loved it! A great quick class!
Thank you for helping me create a habit. I even gifted the course to my best friend. Now we send watercolor postcards that we paint to each other every month.
Perfectly captures the cozy, rustic cabin in the woods feel, and I loved the bonus postcard-sized "thank you" print, too!
Alyssa is an excellent teacher that affirms everyone in their watercolor endeavors!
I appreciated having the opportunity to try something I have never done before. Alyssa’s class meets you at where you’re at. It was fun to learn different styles of watercolor while creating something to bring home that you created.
Loved the Watercolor Habit course - quick, actionable paintings that made me feel successful!
The watercolor is beautiful. It looks just like I expected it to.
