Anna is a passionate watercolor artist in her free time and a product designer by profession. Although art was her favorite subject at school, it wasn’t until two years ago that she decided to delve into watercolor painting and create free, creative pieces to share on social media.
Since then, Anna hasn’t stopped creating beautiful floral compositions—her Instagram account now has a following of over 35k. Anna’s artwork adorns cards, washi tapes, stickers, and home interiors, all of which can be found in her online Etsy shop.

A perfect course for beginners with water color. Ana explains it very nicely and clearly. And not only here she shows you how to use the watercolor but also she explains how to scan, arrange color, layers and everything so it can be printed.

Ana's course is a great resource for new painters like myself. She taught us how to apply our art to other products. I learnt so much that I will use in my practice.

She was very good in many ways. I must have missed where reaching a composition was taught. Just kind of glossed over itIt seems like it was glossed over Entirely. Maybe I missed that part somehow… But it seemed like that’s what this course was going to teach. Please advise where it is if you could please that would be great thanks so much.
hello
Really enjoyed this course. Especially enjoyed the photoshop/scanning tip on how to remove paper texture! Thanks Anna!
