I'm so glad you're here
Ready to create something with watercolor you can actually feel proud of? Yes, even as a beginner!

Hi, I'm Alyssa
-I'm an artist, educator, and your biggest cheerleader!
If you’ve ever thought, “I’m just not artistic,” you’re not alone—and you’re absolutely in the right place.
I create beginner-friendly watercolor lessons that are designed to help you build skills, grow confident, and actually love what you make.
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!

I've recreated my watercolor workbooks!
After creating 4 watercolor workbooks for artists of all levels and abilities, I decided it was time to redesign and improve them!
The same amazing projects are now available with improved paper, added practice pages, and in an even better travel friendly size.
Check out my four redesigned books and a brand new one inspired by my home state of Minnesota!

from 106 reviewsBeautiful 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.

I was invited by friends and had NO idea what to expect, but I ended up having a wonderful time. The class was well paced, informative in a way that made what looks like”hard” make sense and I loved my end result. Alyssa is just wonderful and I will definitely be doing this again!

Alyssa does such a great job with her workbooks. They are easy to use...fun to work on and beautifully crafted. Highly recommend using any of her workbooks!

This print was absolutely beautiful! Alyssa was super helpful and responsive. It made the perfect engagement gift for my friend who was proposed to at Minnehaha Falls - I know she'll treasure it forever!

We did this at a bridal shower and had so much fun! I would highly recommend!

I purchased this as a gift and the recipient loved it.

This painting is so elegant! I can’t wait to hang it up!
