Daniel Smith Watercolors with Ashley Hawkes Watercolor

Join me and Daniel Smith brand ambassador Ashley Hawkes for a crash-course in color as she shares her favorite 18 colors, what makes them special, ideas for how to use them in pet portraits, and a fun Q&A.

After learning about these colors, I went out and bought some Hematite Genuine because the granulation is unlike any I’ve seen!

🎨 I'm Jess. I show artists (that's you!) how to harness the 333 method by teaching you the techniques, principles and properties of watercolor so you can experience the joy of watercolor with your first painting, without wasting precious time and supplies.

My favorite thing to paint are dogs, they are so expressive. I'm so proud to have won three ribbons (so far!) from the Minnesota State Fair and even more proud to share everything I've learned about watercolor with artists like you. Let's paint!
