Hi, I'm Alyssa
-I'm an artist, educator, and the one who will finally get you to pick up that brush!
If you’ve ever thought, “I’m just not artistic,” you’re not alone... and you’re absolutely in the right place.
In addition to making my own art, 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!
Check out my latest Watercolor Workbook, Flowers!
Maybe you've tried following tutorials before, maybe you've never even picked up a brush.
No matter where you are in your journey, my Watercolor Workbooks meet you there and bring you further!
Skip the blank page and follow clear step by step instructions to complete each project.

I love everything about the Bees and Buds! The line drawings are clear and simple, the paint brush is great and I LOVE the travel watercolors! What a neat product to offer us! Paper quality is excellent and AS USUAL, your instructions and encouragement are the best! Thank you!
I love this workbook, Easy to follow! The drawings are great!
Beautiful artwork! It was fun to surprise my wife with this (where we got engaged)
I just retired, and I had nond I had no hobbies, so I am going to try to draw and watercolor with Alyssa's tutorials.
Such a fun watercolor workbook.Very relaxing and great tutorials, that are easy to follow. I will definitely be buying more of these workbooks.
The paper these watercolors are printed on make them look like they're an original! They also look just like the photos in the listing.

I love it! I've used it as a birthday card and an encouragement card! Light-hearted and beautiful!
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!
