A Note From Me:
Hi, I'm Krista. After years as a professional artist, chronic illness and depression kept me from painting for nearly 4 years. When I finally returned to watercolor, I was overwhelmed by how complicated everyone made it seem.
So I created what I wished I'd had: Simple, gentle resources that focus on joy, not perfection.
These guides come from real questions my students ask. They're designed for:
- Absolute beginners who feel lost
- Anyone returning to art after time away
- People who want clear guidance without overwhelm
- Days when you need creative joy but energy is low
This hub is my gift to you. Take what helps. Leave what doesn't. Paint at your own pace.
