Watercolor Lessons are for Everyone
LEARN
Art supplies can be expensive and even more if you don't know how to use them! Private lessons and workshops can add up to hundreds and even thousands of dollars.
Keeping this course affordable for everyone was our goal.
BUILD
Each lesson builds on the previous one, helping you learn watercolor step by step!
Each lesson was created and voted on by over 50 beginning watercolorists like yourself and they said it was exactly what they wanted to learn!
GROW
Here at the Ericson Art Academy, we aim to build on what you already know, even if it's just a little, and help you go from feeling unconfident to confident in watercolor.
We want you to proudly share your work with the world!
FAQs
What if I don't know how to draw?
No problem! Wyn created drawings of our lessons so you don’t have to! All you need to do is print and transfer it to your watercolor paper.
What is the ideal age of a student of the Ericson Art Academy?
Wyn’s 8 year old son loves creating art but needs help viewing it on the computer. So anywhere from 8-80 would be a good place to start!
What type of art will we be creating and in what style?
Wyn teaches from what he knows and he knows realism! Wyn is a classical representationalist which means he loves to draw and paint what he sees! The great thing about painting is you can eventually paint in any style you want. But we recommend you learn the basic techniques first!
What if I have a question or need an opinion on my artwork?
Head over to our Ericson Art Academy Community and ask our devoted group of beginner artists any art related question you like or hop on a monthly call and get a critique by Wyn himself. He looks over all the posts and can help give you feedback! If you have further questions please email us at info@ericsonartacademy.com
How long do I have access to the course?
You can keep learning for as long as you want. You will have access to the course for a monthly fee which includes any device that you own.
