Jessica’s instructional videos offer the same candid teaching style she uses with students in her studio classes and workshops. She explains her thought process throughout the painting, offering an abundance of ideas that make re-watching (and re-painting) worthwhile.

This class is intended for all abilities and includes these topics:

• How to make an accurate drawing even if you don’t have drawing skills.

• The importance of accurate value.

• The water/paint balance and how to utilize a sponge.

• An intro to fixing streaks and splotches.

• How to control edges and paint smooth shapes.

• There is some discussion on color, but this class focuses on the importance of value.

The Paint the Parks series walks you through the process of creating a finished painting with ample tricks and tips along the way to help you find success in watercolor.
