Hi, I'm Alyssa

With each small project, you’ll learn real techniques in a way that’s easy to follow—and even easier to enjoy.
You’ll surprise yourself with what you can create!

Let customers speak for us
Absolutely love this card! I ordered 2 and both recipients were very impressed with their cards. Wonderful artwork, lovely colors and a great play on words! I will look at other cards available on her website.
Alyssa visited our office and took our group of about 35 people through a watercolor painting class. She helped us pick images to paint ahead of time. It was great to see colleagues attempt something new and discover hidden talents we hadn't been able to share otherwise. Alyssa has such a kind, patient, teacher's spirit. I would highly recommend taking a class from her!
These are the perfect way for me to learn how to paint with watercolors. I love every workbook.
Love that it eliminates "blank page" syndrome so you can focus on the art of watercolor!
Excellent for beginners - thoughtful, slow, and great practice. It's also helpful for when I don't feel like starting from a blank sheet of paper. Alyssa is a great teacher, too!
The Minnesota watercolor workbook is exactly as presented. Introduction to watercolor painting for beginners, wonderful drawings that represent Minnesota's finest landmarks, QR codes for video assistance, and a fun questionnaire at the end. The quality is excellent. It arrived in a very timely manner with a postcard signed by the artist, Alyssa Whetstone, and one of her delightful stickers. My sister was thrilled with this gift! Thank you!
Beautiful sketches - easy to enlarge and paint.. Would like to buy more of these workbooks.
Beautiful watercolor workbook. So relaxing and fun to do.
Love these books! Can’t wait to dive in!
I'm a plant mama, so this is perfect!
I love the pictures in this book so much that I can't bear to actually color them myself. If you love Minnesota, this is for you.
Alyssa conducted a watercolor class for my work team of seven people. Everyone enjoyed her teaching style. We surprised ourselves with what we were able to create! Alyssa is engaging and made the painting process so accessible and fun. My colleagues have literally been talking about how much they enjoyed it for days afterwards.
