The Water Faery

Hello wonderful creatives,

I’m so happy to be able to share this mini workshop with you!

I had originally created this workshop last year for Ivy Newport’s Studioworks Creative Academy, so for those of you who missed it you can now enjoy it here!

In this class I combine two of my favorite things: Watercolor & Faeries!

I also love to paint from my dreams, as often our dreams are our subconscious minds and soul giving us glimpses of other realms, past lives, and magical possibilities.

I hope you enjoy this journey with me as we bring to life this magical Faery through our painting.
