YouTube Videos
In addition to painting my own artwork, I am also committed to creating educational content for the watercolor community. As a former zoo educator, I have a professional background in enrichment education. Combined with my passion for watercolors, I strive to create engaging and useful videos to help guide others through their watercolor adventures!
Product Reviews
My playlist of product reviews and first impressions are continuously ongoing. These videos are designed to help viewers make informed decisions about acquiring new supplies, especially when compared to others you already have in your collection. My approach to reviews often includes comparing brands using swatch cards as well as painting demonstrations.
Tutorials & Demonstrations
In addition to brand reviews, I also have a variety of tutorials and guides to help viewers navigate other aspects of watercolors. Some of my favorite include how to paint with opaque watercolors, the difference between drawing and painting skills, and how to set up watercolor palettes.
Color Spotlight Series
Color Spotlight started in January 2017, but now in it's third season! In this well-loved series, I highlight commonly used colors, talk about their history, and compare different brands. We explore color mixing and use the color as a foundational component of a demonstration piece of artwork.
Top Favorites Series
What's my favorite watercolor brand? What's my favorite blue pigment? The original Top 5 series ran from December 2017 to March 2018. Throughout the series, I shared my favorite supplies across several categories, such as paint colors, brushes, and more.
The series received updates in 2019, 2021 and most recently in late 2023. The latest addition spans a four-part series sharing my top 48 watercolor colors for an all inclusive studio palette.
Brand by Brand Series
This series explores some of my favorite professional brands of watercolor through limited palettes. Each video focuses of a different brand of paint, aiming to feature a well-balanced palette while highlighting each brand's unique strengths. This video series was discontinued, but the remaining brands are available as blog posts on Patreon.
Swatch with Me
Having trouble deciding what colors to purchase? Check out my Swatch with Me series! In these videos, we take a casual, real-time look at a wide array of colors from a single brand. These videos are intended to be resources in order to assist you with buying decisions or perhaps just to have on in the background while you paint!
Pride Series
In 2015, I painted my first Pride piece in celebration of of same-sex marriages being legalized across the U.S. In years since, I've added to the collection with a new piece being released each year along with a video to document the process. You can find these videos in my Paint & Chat playlist.
Animal Artists Collective
Throughout 2018 and 2019, Jennifer Charlee and I coordinated the Animal Artists Collective, bringing artists together to raise awareness for animals and conservation efforts around the globe. In early 2020, the collective decided to dissolve, but you can still check out all of the amazing animals we celebrated along the way!
