🎨 I'm Jess. I show artists how to harness the 333 method by teaching you the techniques, principles and properties of watercolor so you can experience the joy of watercolor with your first painting, without wasting precious time and supplies.

My favorite thing to paint are dogs, they are so expressive. I'm so proud to have won three ribbons (so far!) from the Minnesota State Fair and even more proud to share everything I've learned about watercolor with artists like you. Let's paint!

🎨 Tell me about your watercolor experience in the comments!
