COURSE description
Experience the joy and magic of watercolors!
Luminous, transparent, glowing… there’s nothing quite so beautiful as watercolors. In this course I will show you what supplies you need to get started, and how to practice all the fundamental techniques you need to paint with confidence. Everything from fruits and flowers to a winterscape scene, brushstrokes, wet-in-wet techniques and more! My style is clear, relaxed, and reassuring, and I know that YOU can learn to paint with me!
Enjoy the process!
Watercolors have a reputation for being unpredictable and frustrating, but they don’t have to be! Join me as we learn how to control the water and paint, use our brushes, mix and layer colors, experiment with techniques… And most of all, how to relax, let go, and have fun!

Dena Ackerman
Hi! I’m Dena Ackerman, a fine artist, illustrator, writer, and art instructor, specializing in portrait art and illustration. I have illustrated over 30 books and created hundreds of custom paintings for private collectors, businesses, and magazines.
With ten years of teaching experience in private groups and at the START Academy of Art in Beit Shemesh, I delight in helping students acquire confidence, build essential skills, and enjoy the learning process.
Every journey begins with the first step. I believe in building a strong foundation of drawing and painting skills in order to open up the vast, exciting world of artistic expression. Through art, we share our personal experiences, thoughts, and observations about life. Learning to draw and paint will give you additional means of self-expression; one more way to make the world a more beautiful and meaningful place.
