Melissa’s watercolor workshop was incredibly fun and creative! I had never painted with watercolor before and was pleasantly surprised at how great my peony turned out! I highly recommend Melissa’s watercolor workshop!

Melissa’s watercolor workshop is so FUN! You get to create your own art and you don’t realize what you are actually capable of. Everyone is an artist!!

Asked Melissa to do a watercolor workshop for my 14 year old daughter’s birthday. The kids all had a great time and loved the light houses they painted!
