I love to do portraits. I have done portraits of a lot of famous people. Mick Jagger is one of my favourites.

Owl on a cold night - Watercolour and story by Andra Popa

I have seen the knowledge and skill of the instructors at Watercolor Academy, and I greatly admire their passion for the craft. Currently I am trying to learn using whatever videos I find online, but its been challenging to find a structure and direction that takes you from beginner to advanced. I believe the Watercolor Academy courses offer this structure, and would allow me to not only depict our quirky little world in art, but also from imagination.
