👩🎨 Watercolor Portrait Magic Unlocked 🖼️
🎨 Become a great likeness portrait artist without watching another paint-along video! 🧑🎨
I just won 2nd place in the San Clemente Art Gallery watercolor competition! 🎉
My husband Rand snapped photos and collected compliments from other artists who liked my work. (Shocked face emoji goes here 😆)
But here's the shocking truth behind my red ribbon...
Creating stunning watercolor portraits with perfect likeness isn't rocket science.
It's actually pretty simple when you have a repeatable process and clear plan.
Most aspiring artists get stuck in the paint-along video trap. They frantically copy their favorite artist's every brushstroke.
But that's like trying to become a chef by microwaving frozen dinners.
You'll never discover YOUR style that way!
I spent 40 years helping corporate folks understand computer stuff. Not exactly painting portraits.
When I retired in 2017, I finally chased my real dream.
At first, I did what everyone does - endless online courses, community college classes, and tons of YouTube videos.
My breakthrough came when I ditched the paint-alongs and created my own process.
Three years later, I started winning ribbons and building a successful portrait business.
The system works so well that one of my students sold her first commission a few months after learning my method!
Here's what I realized: Most watercolor teachers make portrait painting seem impossible.
They overcomplicate everything and keep you dependent on their videos.
But you don't need 57 different techniques or fancy supplies to create stunning portraits.
You need a clear roadmap that builds confidence with each painting.
That's exactly what I've created in the Artist Journey Community™.
No more staring at blank paper in terror. No more paint-along dependency.
