Beginning Watercolor Studio

With Teaching Artist Alyssa Grundmeyer

Learn the essentials of Watercolor Painting with local teaching artist Alyssa Grundmeyer. Alyssa guides you through the basics of watercolor as you create your own small masterpiece at each class. She brings inspiring natural subjects to paint, as well as all of the tools and materials you need for each weekly project (although you are also welcome to bring your own watercolor supplies as well).

These weekly, seasonally inspired watercolor classes are ideal for teenage and adult beginners — no experience necessary! Class size is limited to 16 students to ensure individualized attention and a focused learning environment.

Meet Your Instructor, Teaching Artist Alyssa Grundmeyer

I am a watercolor artist and nature-lover living in Seattle, WA. I discovered a passion for painting after a decade-long career as a marketing professional and completing a certificate in Scientific Illustration. Now, I find endless inspiration during every season here in the Pacific Northwest, spending most of my time studying landscape, wildlife and botanical subjects. I frequently paint commissions from pets to favorite family vacation spots. Get in touch, I would love to hear from you!
