Learning Watercolour Should be Playful!

I used to think watercolour techniques needed to be learned in a structured, rather mundane way. I would teach techniques while isolating them from the beautiful fluidity and freedom of expression that encourages an artist to think "What do I really love seeing in my art?" from the very beginning of your artistic journey. 

I don't teach that way anymore. Why should the experts have all the fun? 

The truth is, watercolour can be learned through some of the most beautiful and effortless exercises, and your number one job in learning watercolour is developing your intuition and observation, so you can work with the watercolour and not fight to master or control it. This is the relational practice that makes watercolour so rewarding, and that is the focus of this self-paced course. 

This Course will Change the Way You Think About Watercolour!

  • Watercolour is Playful

    You may have heard that watercolour is the "hardest medium" to learn. What you will learn in this course is that the skills that will benefit you the most are developed through playful experimentation. You'll receive a host of fun "warm-up's" that will develop your watercolour skills quickly.

  • Watercolour is for Rule-Breakers

    Whether you're a rule follower or a rebel at heart, learning watercolour in this heart-prioritizing course will free you from the feeling that you're doing it "wrong." You get to be empowered to paint in YOUR way.

  • You can Become Your Own Favourite Artist!

    In this course I focus on teaching you the "why's" of watercolour and design so you can make choices that reflect you the artist. When you create a beautiful process, the art that emerges can't help but be beautiful too!

Students Say:

“I just finished doing the lesson on negative painting. All this time I’ve thought I really couldn’t do it. But, oh my goodness! I just did! I’m so, so grateful I can return to these courses after time, and things are finally making sense!”

“Angela is a wonderful, open, caring instructor who gives one permission to play, mess around, “fail” and try again. I really enjoyed Angela’s teaching style, her personality and her ability to share so much of her own journey. Her complete openness with students; she holds nothing back from her students when teaching and sharing information.”

Rhonda C

“ As a result of this course I slowed down my painting process and learned to enjoy the beauty and interaction of the pigments. I could relax and find so much joy in the practice. Studying value and the practical lessons about value really helped me improve my technique. My paintings started to show the emotion I felt. Other teachers have you copy techniques but Angela teaches how to follow the heart! Her way of encouraging and inspiring my inner artist is invaluable and unique. ”

Angela Fehr

Hi! I'm Angela Fehr. I'm just an ordinary person who always wanted to make art, and hoped that maybe I could be good enough to call myself an artist. I started painting with very few options for growth and mentorship and my desire to paint has always outweighed my talent. But as it turns out, this positions me perfectly to serve as a mentor and guide for other artists who feel the same way about their potential; if your desire outweighs your time, talent and opportunities, I'm here to share with you how the very things that feel like obstacles can become assets to your art journey. I have created an art career out of the truth that authenticity is more valuable than skill and by developing a values-based approach to painting I have learned that I can pour into my art the things that I love and value the most, and they will not only help me make art that reflects me, art that I truly love and am deeply fulfilled by, but it has also created my most resonant work. I have actually found that in showing up flawed and authentic, most naturally me, I have found there is space for me in the world of art. And you can find that too!
