Meet your instructor
Lizzie Hanks
My art background spans a variety of mediums including watercolor, charcoal, oil, acrylic, ink, and chalk pastels. I have been watercolor painting for over a decade and have painted a wide variety of subjects in the medium.
My teaching approach focuses on process over perfection, encouraging participants of all skill levels to explore new techniques while developing their own artistic voice. Through these workshops, I aim to create a relaxed, supportive space where you can experiment, build confidence, and enjoy the creative process without pressure.
