I'm a hobby artist and art teacher, and paint flowers in watercolor to relax. I teach high school art, mostly beginners, but my more advanced students like manga. The observational approach to drawing is not very helpful or interesting to them, but it helps me professionally a lot. I always wanted to learn drawing and painting and now have the time to do this. I have been watching YouTube videos, but without personal guidance it is not as helpful as I wanted. I hope to improve with more formal training; I know it takes a lot of practice.

My main challenge in watercolor is to get to the next level. I can capture likeness, but somehow my artworks look flat and lifeless. What I need is someone telling me how to improve my art, what mistakes I make and how to fix them. That is why I took the Watercolor Academy online course.

I like the tact that with lifetime membership there is no pressure. I can watch video lessons when I have time and feel like it and do assignments without deadlines.

What I love about Watercolor Academy is that here I can get constructive critique and suggestions for improvement, unlike from my friends and relatives who can only say: "aren't you clever, what a lovely picture." This is what I always wanted, unbiased opinion on my art, and this academy is so good about it. When I have questions or make a new painting, I simply send my artworks to the academy team and tutors always reply promptly with such feedback that makes me wonder how could I not see that mistake myself? This helps tremendously.

I'm very grateful for the opportunity to study at Watercolor Academy.
