Interested in learning something new? Contact Jvan Studios about her online studio!

Thank you for all of the excitement about my online Studio being featured by Skool!

I have gotten some questions about what it is and how to learn more.

Here is some information about what is available:

Watercolor Step-by-Step is a fun and encouraging community of people learning and practicing watercolor.

There are 2 ways to be involved.

1. If you want community and some guidance and inspiration, the entry tier is $7 per month. There are lots of tutorials and of inspiration and an amazing community. People have improved their work be participating here!

2. Premium membership is for you If you want access to all of the live and recorded classes, feedback on your work as you learn and Open Studio when we have it. (Open Studio is when we all gather with whatever we are working on and paint together. Lots of questions come up and it is a really good appointment with yourself to paint!) The feedback on this level really helps with the questions as you practice new skills.

For the Premium level, which is more like watercolor lessons with guidance, you can pay monthly $33/ month and cancel anytime or pay for the year $297 (best value).
