If you are an oil painter, you’ll find my process similar: Painting transparent to opaque, wet on wet

If you are a watercolor artist, you’ll find the intense, fluid acrylics familiar. The flexibility that white and opaques bring, make it easier and more versatile than watercolor.

WHO’S THE INSTRUCTOR?

I’m Maria from Maria Morris Art and I paint full time and sell my prints on Etsy. I love helping artists boost their color, boost their confidence and find their artistic voice.

I painted full time before having children, selling over 100 watercolors, mostly portraits, while living in South America. Now that I’m an empty-nester, I’m back at it but with fluid and semi-transparent and opaque acrylics!

I hope you enjoy the course and paint your most vibrant paintings!
