Watercolor In Flow
online group mentorship program
with artist vinita pappas

You want to improve your painting skills.
You want to feel more creative.
Learn skills, mindset, and a way of painting that feels like yours.

"Most watercolor instructors teach in a follow-the-leader style: watch me, copy me, try to keep up.
After 20+ years of teaching watercolor and working as a certified creativity coach, I know there’s a better way.
I don’t just show you how I paint. I help you understand and expand your own creative process.
Yes, I'll teach you essential watercolor skills, and I'm an open book about my process. But you'll also learn how to trust your intuition, bypass creative blocks, and paint in a way that's not only unique to you but also a whole lot of fun."
-Vinita

FAQ
Can I see a preview?
Yes! There is an excerpt you can watch if you scroll down.
What level of painter is this for?
I've worked with painters who are fairly new AND painters who've been at it for years.
Maybe you're frustrated with muddy colors and overworked paintings. Or maybe your technique is fine, but something is missing. You want more confidence, more expression, more YOU in your work.
(This may not be for you if you want to paint photorealistic, tightly rendered work. I paint pretty loose and impressionistic.)
What is the schedule and how much time will this take?
This is self-paced; watch and practice when it fits your schedule.
There's one live session each month (recorded if you can't join), plus optional assignments for each lesson (6 per year).
What supplies do I need?
Basic watercolor supplies that you use and enjoy: paints, brushes, paper. If you’re curious, I’ll provide a list of what I’m currently using, but there is no required supply list.
What lessons are included?
When you join you can view the entire library:
- Avoid Making Mud
- Color Harmony
- Demo: North Bank Barn
- Discover Your Natural Painting Process
- Painting White Objects
- Water and Waves
- Wet into Wet Skies
Throughout the year, I'll add 6 more. The topics will be chosen based on member input.
Is there an online community message board?
No. Online communities or forums can be a massive distraction when that time is often better spent painting. We can connect during our live sessions.
Who is teaching Watercolor In Flow?
Vinita Pappas
Watercolor Instructor and Certified Creativity Coach
I'm Vinita and I've been teaching watercolor for over 20 years. I live and paint on the Oregon Coast with my trusty studio assistant, Ellie the Yellow Lab.
I'm a little obsessed with learning about the creative process and watercolor techniques, and I always have a few art books on the kitchen table ready to read whenever I get a chance.
I teach the way I would want to be taught: gentle but knowledgeable, with a touch of humor. I'm an open book about my technique, and I'll help you find your own voice as a painter along the way. Painting can be a lot easier and a lot more fun than we sometimes make it. I'd love to help you get there.
How will I know if this is right for me?
