 “My hand is shaking… How can I draw?”

To my surprise, I’ve been asked this question sooo many times.

The golden rule is simple: just relax. Draw with your whole hand, not just your wrist. Tension tightens the grip and the line.

So relax and have a small break before trying again.

What this Guide is about

After years of working professionally with watercolor, ink, and mixed media and teaching thousands of students online, I’ve collected my favorite quick wins that truly make a difference.

This is a beautifully designed PDF guide you can save, revisit, and use at your own pace.

If you’re relatively new to watercolors and mixed media, it can be scary to try new things and even share your work online. But every new artwork builds up your confidence.

I PROMISE you’ll enjoy the process more and more over time…

…and you’ll be amazed by the things you will create.
