Finding Your Voice:
The Art of Conscious Choice
From uncertainty to artistic clarity: Your 3-month guided journey with 3 world-class watercolorists
In this LIVE course, you’ll discover how artists built their recognizable styles — and apply the same principles to develop your own. Together with three distinct masters, you’ll discover how technique becomes expression — and how choices become style.
Your goal for this course:
Discover what makes YOUR work yours. Learn to recognize your natural preferences, make conscious artistic choices, and interpret references through your own vision — not someone else’s.
LIFETIME ACCESS
Course starts on March 1
THIS COURSE WILL SUIT ARTISTS WHO:
Can follow along with tutorials but struggle to paint independently — and want to finally trust their own decisions
Feel stuck or uncertain about their direction — painting the same way without knowing how to evolve
Have tried many techniques but can’t find what’s «theirs» — and want clarity instead of endless experimentation
Want to develop a recognizable style — but don’t know where to start or what makes their work unique
What our students say

Program Overview
Each month builds on the previous — a clear progression from recognizing your tendencies, to reinforcing them, to applying them freely.
March — When Technique Becomes Voice
How consistent choices create recognizable style
Featured Legend: Liz Chaderton
Work with expressive lines and washes to bring energy and character to your subject. You’ll discover how a single, consistently used technique becomes your recognizable feature.
Your result: You’ll understand that style isn’t about doing everything — it’s about doing something well and intentionally. You’ll start noticing which marks, rhythms, and color choices keep appearing in YOUR work.

Building consistency through intentional repetition
Featured Legend: Ryan Fox
Work with layered watercolor bokeh to create atmosphere through controlled wetness and soft edges. You’ll discover how to choose techniques intentionally — matching your method to what you want to express.
Your result: You’ll stop randomly switching between approaches. Instead, you’ll start making deliberate choices and understand: «I’m using THIS technique because I want to express THIS». You’ll feel more confident repeating what works.

May — Make It Yours
Personal interpretation instead of copying
Featured Legend: George Politis
Work with textured layers to capture the beauty of rust, wear, and time on a mechanical subject. You’ll discover the freedom of painting from impression rather than imitation — letting your emotional response guide the work.
Your result: Freedom from the reference. You’ll trust your internal filter and express your point of view — even when it differs dramatically from the photo. You’ll paint with confidence, knowing your interpretation IS valid.

Terrilynn Dubreuil
Watercolor artist
«I have painted with watercolor since my Fine Art classes at the University and I started teaching it soon after and have taught it ever since. I love the fresh, flowing approach to the medium.
Watercolor gives me an oblique strategy approach to art because one has to to approach it in an almost „opposite“ way of thinking from other media. It keeps my brain active! I use watercolor a lot for studies, plein air sketches, and underpaintings for my pastel paintings»
- Degree of Bachelor of Fine Arts, Summa Cum Laude, with augmented Master level courses.
- Teaching art for 35 years. Multiple media and levels.
- Workshops, Classes and Demos, both live and virtual, with local and international students.
