For beginners and artists who want to paint more freely, finish pieces in one sitting, and actually enjoy the process.

Watercolor doesn’t reward working harder.

It rewards doing less.


In this class you'll start to build your watercolor skills & intuition without spending hours on a single piece.

The Difference This Makes
Without this course
  • Spending hours on one painting and hating the result

  • Guessing how much water is enough

  • Overworking every piece until the colors are muddy

  • Waiting forever for layers to dry
With this course
  • Painting 6 to 10 pieces in one hour

  • Knowing exactly how wet your paper needs to be

  • Creating loose, expressive paintings you are proud of

  • Growing your skills through iteration, not frustration
Stop Overworking Your Watercolors
If you often feel like:
  • you keep adding “just one more layer” and ruin the painting
  • you don’t understand wet-on-wet properly
  • you don’t know why the paint sometimes spreads beautifully and sometimes doesn’t
  • watercolor feels slow because you have to wait for layers to dry
  • you get frustrated after spending hours on a single piece

This class will feel like a relief. 

Because we don’t layer. We don’t wait. 
We don’t overwork. 
We let watercolor do its magic.

Your Instructor
I’m Cornelia, an abstract painter from Austria who loves blending color, line, and texture into expressive mixed-media work.

When I went through a stressful time and fell out of my regular art practice, I didn’t have the energy for big, layered paintings. I needed something satisfying I could sit down with for an hour – without planning, without pressure. 

This is how this class was born. Watching watercolor flow on wet paper is incredibly calming, and creating many small pieces in one sitting brought back the playfulness in painting.
Who Is This Course For?
Beginners
You’ll learn everything from materials to technique. No prior experience needed.
Intermediate Watercolor Artists

Anyone Looking for a Calming Creative Practice

"This is a great class to experiment with wetness/dryness of the paper while making pretty little landscapes. I also enjoyed the composition section of the class. That is an area I always need help with."
