This past year, you've thoughtfully and generously gifted flowers in kindness. While the frost may have brought an end to some of our growing seasons & some are just kicking off, we can savor and share the beauty of flowers through watercolor, too.
In this class, taught by acclaimed watercolor artist Sarah Simon, The Mint Gardener, you will learn the foundations of this art as a transferable skill. Sarah has taught thousands of people how to watercolor and makes it such an approachable and enjoyable art form, both for the experienced and novice alike.
Sarah provides you with a complete supply list so you can join in and paint along to create a floral work of art.
This class is designed for all levels of experience: no prior experience needed.
Sarah Simon is the Designer, Artist Illustrator and Author at The Mint Gardener. Finding inspiration in the ever-blooming variety of textures and colors in her urban garden, Sarah creates and teaches lush Watercolors inspired by the diverse variety of herbs, flowers, and trees grown in her yard. With a continually blooming following of botanical and art lovers alike, Sarah shares her teaching talents in Seattle, Washington, of the USA, where she regularly instructs Watercolor Classes to students of all skill levels. Her teaching has received international attention with her online painting courses in the Watercolor Summit and on Skillshare.
Sarah's work has been featured in many publications and blogs worldwide, and has been celebrated in the form of commercial product design, stationery, textiles as well as wholesale and private commissions. Just a few of her clients include: Target, Nordstrom, Country Living, Facebook, The University of Washington, Sakura of America, Blick Artist Materials, Winsor and Newton, Estée Lauder and Sur La Table. Her books "Modern Watercolor Botanicals" and "The Plant Lady" Coloring Book were released in November 2019, and are best sellers on Amazon.
She recently published book number three, Watercolor Workbook, and enjoys hosting the #FlowerPaintingClub for an online community of painting-lovers. Sarah loves to garden with her partner Colin and their two little girls on their urban farm. She enjoys seeking quiet moments for sketching and painting, making small bouquets of flowers and herbs, or reading. She loves Jesus, exploring new places, and enjoys anything that includes the sea, friends and food; and yes, as a Pacific Northwest native, she does enjoy the gloomy gray days a bit more than the hot, sunny ones.
