Do any of these roadblocks sound familiar?

2.
You started dabbling in watercolors but wish you had a friend to sit you down and break down all the basics... saving you years of mistakes and hundreds of dollars on unnecessary supplies.
3.
You really enjoy painting but perfectionism makes it almost impossible to relax into the process.

You're tired of googling "beginner watercolor tutorials" and are ready to start making art that looks like it was made by YOU!
i've been there
My brain whispering “don’t f*$!k this up!” with every brushstroke. I was there too, drawing a pencil sketch of my entire painting and then painstakingly coloring it in. Googling "Beginner Watercolor Tutorials" until I was blue in the face and could not, no would not paint another sunset over the water again!
I longed for a trust in myself and my skills to confidently put paint to a blank page.
not sure where to start.

“Jaime gave simple instructions that were easy to follow!”
"I had the opportunity recently to take a floral watercolor class with Jaime and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. She gave simple instructions that were easy to follow & incorporated some breathwork into the practice that made it meditative &relaxing. I would high recommend taking a class with Jaime if you want to learn simple techniques for watercolor."
