Developing your watercolor skills is easier than you think!

A healthy creative practice is the key to growth as an artist, especially when you're trying to grow your own style. If your goal is an intuitive, looser personal style, it's important to have a set of activities to help you encourage the highly imaginative part of yourself.

When I come into the studio to paint, I always warm up for at least 10 -15 minutes with playful exercises to help me kickstart my practice, draw me into the creative process and engage more fully with what's happening on the paper. Join me as we explore my favorite warm up techniques.

Peace. Passion. Purpose. What better tools could an artist bring to the studio?

Since 2013, this is the message that artist Angela Fehr has shared through her online watercolor courses and in her Fearless Artist Community. Over the last several years, this northern Canadian artist has seen her message that “You can become your own favorite artist” empower artists from all over the world, creating a career that feels like a dream come true.

Angela’s heart-led, intuitive watercolor style is one that recognizes that a beautiful painting comes out of a beautiful process. Rather than striving for that perfect outcome, freedom is found in letting go of expectations and seeking to enjoy “this one moment” spent painting. Angela’s paintings reflect her love of nature and the northern region she calls home and loves to explore.
