You Don't Need Another Tutorial
You Need Someone Painting Next to You
Watercolor videos are everywhere
You can watch one twice, pause it, rewind it, and still not know if what's on your paper is right
That's not a knowledge problem
It's a feedback problem
In this workshop, Cheryl paints alongside you, live, on three separate days.
When your wash pools in the wrong spot or your brush feels clumsy in your hand, you ask right then, and she answers right then.
Meet Cheryl: A Watercolor Teacher With Years in the Classroom
Cheryl has taught in-person watercolor classes in her hometown for years.
Teaching is her passion.
She lights up walking someone through a technique, and she'll answer the same question three different ways until it clicks.
She's also been a member of Just Add Water Studio for over a year, showing up to our live painting sessions every week.
We asked her to bring that same in-person teaching energy online, and tested it first inside our own membership.
Members who joined her live sessions loved them, and their painting showed real growth.
It motivated and inspired the whole group.
Now we're opening that experience up to more people. Teaching painters is exactly what Cheryl loves to do. This workshop is her doing more of it.
Sound Familiar?
Are you:
- Staring at a blank piece of watercolor paper, unsure where to even start?
- New to painting and not sure which techniques actually matter yet?
- Tired of starting projects and never quite finishing them?
Imagine if you could...
- Follow along with an instructor who's right there the moment you have a question
- Finish a full painting in a single sitting and actually feel proud of it
- Watch your skills build over three days as you take on a bigger project
If this sounds like the kind of painting experience you've been wanting, the Let's Paint Workshop is for you.
Here's What You'll Paint
A live, guided path from your first brushstroke to a piece you're proud to frame
Day 1: Start and Finish in One Sitting
Clothespins on a Rope
Monday, August 17 · 10am–12pm CT
Two hours. One canvas. One finished painting.
You'll master texture and shadow while Cheryl guides every brushstroke, and by the time you close your paints, you'll have something real to show for it - not a half-finished sketch buried in a drawer.
Day 2: Build Something Bigger
Tree & Bicycle, Part One
Wednesday, August 19 · 7–9pm CT
This is where you stretch. You'll layer in techniques you haven't tried yet, watching a simple wash turn into branches, bark, and shadow right in front of you.
It's the moment you realize: I can actually do this.
Day 2: Bring It Home
Tree & Bicycle, Finished
Friday, August 21 · 12–2pm CT
You'll pick up right where you left off and paint your way to the finish line. Watch two days of practice come together into one complete piece. The kind you frame and hang somewhere you'll see it every day.
This isn't about practicing techniques in isolation.
It's about feeling them build on each other, one session at a time,
with other painters working right alongside you.
