Watercolor Classes


Natalie’s classes are so informative and they’re a ton of fun. I’ve been several times, and I’m looking forward to more. She is a very talented artist and teacher - you’ll leave with a love for watercolor.

Expressive Watercolor

Tuesday September 16th
10am-12:30pm
at Leu Gardens in Orlando

Expressive watercolor combines blind contour drawing with color impressionism. The result is a beautiful, loose, and lively semi-abstract artwork, and just as important- stress reduction for the artist: YOU! Expressive watercolor is perfect for beginners, and advanced students will learn to hone their eye for line, color, and value. Even if you have taken this class before, you will exercise new skills and leave with a completely different painting!

Natalie Brooks is a wonderful teacher! I have taken other watercolor classes, but I learned more in one class with Natalie than I did in an entire series of classes with another teacher. Natalie has a gift for putting students at ease and for inspiring them to take risks and grow. She is patient, supportive, and encouraging. If you are hesitant about trying something new, but really want to learn how to paint, Natalie is the teacher for you. She is a warm, friendly person who shares her expertise with grace and humor. I can’t wait for my next class with her.

Watercolor Collage: Beetles

Friday, October 10th
10am-12:30pm
at Leu Gardens in Orlando

Explore watercolor through nature’s most diverse animal on earth: beetles! I’ll guide you step by step as we blend colors and experiment with developing texture and pattern in watercolor. Next, we’ll put the pieces together to reveal stunning beetles of all kinds. After this encouraging class you’ll have beautiful artwork ready to frame and skills to explore watercolor in a whole new way!

Natalie’s workshops were fun, informative, and empowering for a novice like me, and I came away with two pieces of art that I am proud to display in my home. Perfect for a ladies night or a date, and I look forward to the next one!

Watercolor Foundations

Thursdays, 10am-12pm
October 2nd - November 6th
at Art & History Museum of Maitland

Dive deep into the art of watercolor! Students will develop and strengthen essential skills needed to master this versatile medium. Grow in confidence each week as we build from composition, value, and color to brushwork, texture, and layering. At every class we’ll put our skills into practice as we paint several studies. Then everything will come together in a final course project. This class is perfect for beginner to intermediate students who want to grow in both love for and proficiency with watercolor!
