Adult Watercolor Virtual Group Zoom Classes
Are you interested in my step-by-step virtual zoom watercolor class? Send me an email using the form at the bottom of this page! Below you will see a list of FAQ’s about these classes, the supply list, and reviews from my students.
“Taking a class with Victoria is like entering a new world of noticing color and detail. You will linger in the reds, yellows, and oranges of an apple, or see how shadows create the shape of flower petals. Step-by-step, Victoria will take you from drawing with pencil on paper to creating amazing mixes of colors that celebrate the natural world. “Indigo,” “lemon yellow,” and “olive green” will become an integral part of your life, as will the camaraderie of the classes. Victoria takes away the fear some may feel about watercolor, and you’ll leave each session feeling both more energized and more at peace.”

Please send me an email to find out when we are starting a new project in your preferred class.

***Coming Soon!***
I am in the works of making step by step classes that are not recorded live. These will be pre-recorded without other students in the class. Check back here for updates. The classes will come with downloadable reference photos, a downloadable outline drawing for tracing (if you want to skip the drawing), and paint color/supply lists. I am hoping to get these up and running by Spring 2024.
How can I pay for these classes?
Click here to be taken to my payment options page. Or look below to pay with paypal or with a credit card. There are other payment options listed on my payment options page.
Pay each week as you go or pay for a few classes at a time! If you choose to pay for multiple classes at a time, I will let you know when you are out of class credits. If you miss a class and do not want a class recording I will move the credit to the next week or whenever you join again.
Are you a brand new student? If yes, please contact me before paying for classes! This way I can tell you when the best day to start your chosen class will be (if we are currently in the middle of a project).

These classes are designed to be easy for your schedule. Can’t come one week? No problem! I can record the class and send it to you, then you can get caught up on your own time. Need to skip a few weeks? A month? No problem! You can join again when you are ready and we are starting a new project.
Do these class days and times not work for your schedule? Take this quick survey to let me know when I should hold a new class!
Note: All of these classes are totally separate from each other. You do not need to be in one to take another. If you want to be in multiple classes that is an option, but it is not necessary.
These classes are for adults age 18 and up.
How do the classes work?
You will get sent an email with the zoom link for the class that day as well as an email with the reference photo prior to the class. I send zoom links about 10 minutes before class starts. During class, you will see an overhead shot of me painting and drawing along with you step-by-step.
Supply Details:
Full Supply List: Click this link to be taken to a google doc with all the links for the supplies. You can also email me and I can send it that way, too.
If you already have professional watercolor supplies, you do not need to get the same brands I have on the list. Using good supplies is half the battle of watercolor painting.
Bare Minimum Supplies: Click this link to be taken to a google doc with links to a very skimmed down supply list. It is still professional quality supplies, I just put the bare minimum of what you would need to take the class.
Check out this video I made about comparing student vs. professional supplies here.
What if I miss a class?
I record the classes and upload them to youtube via a private link. Only people in the class have access to the links, these are not public videos. I will send the link for the video to you within one day of the class. Class videos are free if you already paid for the class and just want to watch a replay. They cost the same $15 as the class if you miss the live class and want the video to catch up.
Do I need to have previous experience or already be at a certain level of skill?
All skill levels are welcome! No previous experience necessary!
Does anyone see my painting?
Not unless you want them to! I don’t even have to see it if you don’t want to share it. However, if you send it to me via email I can draw on the picture and give helpful suggestions.
What subjects do you paint?
We paint a lot of nature scenes, botanical art, landscapes, florals, and more. I try to switch it up and keep it interesting while also throwing some seasonal subjects in (example: for fall we have painted leaves, a fall landscape, corn, and other fall type subjects).
If you are interested in seeing my teacher samples from our classes, click this link to be taken to a google doc where you can view previous projects. These images are what I painted during class, more will be added over time.
You can also purchase perviously recorded class videos. Click the above link to see my teacher samples. They are organized into how many classes it took, which would translate to number of videos needed to complete the project.
Do you have gift cards for painting classes?
Yes! Send me an email to get one. Once I know how many classes you want to buy, I will email you a gift certificate that you can print out and give as the gift. You can pay for the gift card through Venmo or Zelle.
Do you teach private lessons?
Yes! I can do private and semi-private lessons. Email me and we can work out a schedule. The private lesson rates are listed below:
1 person for one hour: $25 per class
2 people for one hour: $20 per person per class
3 or more people for one hour: $15 per person per class
Reviews From My Students
“Victoria is wonderful! I’ve been taking her group and private lessons for over one and a half years. Victoria is a very patient and knowledgeable instructor. She explains and shows us the basics of watercolor- blending, color, brush work, highlights, shadows, and she is excellent at critiquing work, if you want. She is flexible to accommodate schedules for private lessons. She also paints beautifully!!! SIGN UP FOR A CLASS. ITS FUN!!!”
“Victoria Elizabeth is AWESOME!! I am currently one of her students, taking watercolor classes with her. She is so kind and VERY patient as a teacher and artist, and she NEVER makes you feel like you’re making any kind of mistakes. And if you do, she patiently teaches you how to correct them, and puts you at ease if you feel you are making too many of them. I highly recommend Victoria as your painting teacher. She’s just wonderful. I give her 5 stars!”
“Victoria’s classes are relaxed and easy to follow for all levels, even on zoom. While guiding us in completing a frame worthy painting every two to three weeks, she teaches new painting techniques and ways to correct mistakes.
Classes are so convenient! When I missed a week, Victoria sent a recording of the group session allowing me to catch up. I appreciate her kind, helpful suggestions on ways to improve my work and highly recommend Victoria’s classes!!”
“About two months ago I noticed Victoria Elizabeth’s watercolor classes on NextDoor. My daughters and I wanted to do something creative and to take a break from our everyday lifestyle to relax.
Victoria offers watercolor classes to people with all kinds of experience. Beginners like us or individuals that have experience and want to learn more. Victoria’s patience and experience has been amazing.
She makes everyone feel comfortable with their skills and talent level and paces the class to meet individual needs. In addition, she will review your art and provide suggestions or answer any questions.
The classes are very flexible, affordable and Victoria provides recordings should we miss a class and need to get caught up or finish a piece. Victoria’s classes are fun and we look forward to them every week. We would highly recommend
Victoria to anyone who wants to learn watercolor painting from a talented artist in a relaxed, caring virtual environment.”
“I want to express my gratitude to Victoria. She shares so many inspiring techniques, examples, caring step by step instruction, information and everything possible to successfully create watercolor paintings.
Thank you for keeping our watercolor class alive during this very hard time. I was very impressed how quickly Victoria adapted to the online class world.
Although Zoom technology may seem like an unnatural place to conduct multi student, with varying skill levels, watercolor painting classes. The transition from in-person to online was seamless, due wholly to Victoria’s personality, and passion.
Five plus star rating!”
