Watercolor is honest. It reveals every hesitation, every moment of confidence, every time you tried to control something meant to be free.

It's frustrating. And magical.

I'm Vinita, and I paint on the Oregon Coast with my yellow lab Ellie, who's convinced every day deserves a beach walk. 

I've taught watercolor for over 20 years and teach the basic skills along with the creative mindset needed to paint in a way that feels authentic to you. My new online program, Watercolor in Flow, will build your creative confidence and painting skills.
