Class Details

Create a playful watercolor in this online class with Lexis Krieg, a Denver-based artist who’s known for her joyful, vibrant colors and linework patterns. The class is perfect for novices and fun for those already familiar with watercolors. While creating what Lexis calls “circle doodles”, you’ll learn about the color wheel, blending colors, composition, and harmony. We like how Lexis adds pen lines to watercolor shapes to create patterns, and how she keeps up an ongoing dialogue as she creates a painting together with you. For example, as she adds an element to the left-hand corner of the page she tells you why – in this case to help balance the composition. She’ll also say “Hmmm… I don’t like what I just did”, explain the reason, and then correct the problem. (Nice to know that even experienced artists don’t get it right on the first try!)

Lexis encourages students to create their own composition rather than make an exact copy of hers. She came to watercolor later in her career and feels that it’s the perfect medium when there doesn’t seem to be any time or enough space to create. Learn why she thinks so as she shares her watercolor practice with you. As with Lexis’s other classes, what we really like about the way she teaches is that she offers a process with skills and tools that can be used to develop a personal style. She, and we, would love to see what you create!
