My confidence and understanding of watercolor has grown so much

Renee's lessons have been a wonderful resource for me as someone brand new to watercolor. She is a wonderful teacher, not only in how she guides students through her tutorials, but also in how she structures content - teaching new skills and then building upon them step by step. My confidence and understanding of watercolor has grown so much, and I thoroughly enjoy each new lesson she creates! T.P.

It's always exciting to see what tutorial she has in store for us.

I discovered Renee's art on Instagram and quickly fell in love with her artwork, style, and her choice of pigments. I started following her and then quickly became a Patron student. In my short few months of being Renee's Patron, I learned how to paint stone work, roofs, lighthouses, various skies, ocean/waves, flower meadows, birds (the ones with abstract background are my favorite, so much fun and actually it's the heron with the abstract background is what made me become Renee's Patron), castles (whoever thought I could do that!), and I really learned to lean into loose style. Every Thursday, I look forward to an email notification with a new lesson from Renee. It's always exciting to see what tutorial she has in store for us.

Also, I really like the lessons structure. I get to paint by re-creating via a step by step video tutorial, then there's a photo reference with detailed steps to paint and no video, then there're skills lessons and my favorite is challenges where all we get is a reference! That's one way to get confidence in watercolor painting by doing the whole thing yourself leaning into all the lessons learned from Renee's tutorials.

Renee is very encouraging, kind, patient and provides valuable feedback for every single watercolor painting. I've learned so much in the last few months of being her student. E.M.

Just finished another one of @reneewaldenart's online classes. What fun this was!

Thank you so much Renee! I am thoroughly enjoying your classes and learning soooo much!!! :-) It makes some of the things that have intimidated me feel so much more doable. Your generous teaching has been such a gift. M.C.

You are a great teacher!

Amazing tutorial lots of theory - you are a great teacher! Thank you! Hard subject and you broke it down beautifully in a way that was easy to understand C.K.

I love the variety of painting content, including buildings, landscapes, and animals.

Renee’s lessons on Patreon have kept me engaged and always learning. The mix of skills lessons, full tutorials, and challenges have raised my painting skills to a new level. Her teaching approach is accessible and fun- and I love the variety of painting content, including buildings, landscapes, and animals. Her personalized feedback and group chats where people share pictures are always supportive. I’m so glad I’ve found her! M.
