What Students say:"DEEP is an inadequate description, WOW. This is a lesson in all aspects of layering and glazing like no other. When I look at these lessons, why I am looking makes me see things so much differently than I have been as a student painter You really have done a very wonderful and complete job with this lesson. I look deeper and see more and understand more now." Trish Kuncewicz"
This painting calls upon all the skills we learned in her floral masterclasses and layers new skills on top of them. Through extremely subtle shading, dramatic layering, intricate negative painting, and intriguing color combinations, the blossoms emerge in all their glory from the carefully designed background. Mastering this painting will take my skills to the next level!" Sue Warnock

Online watercolor course with Birgit O'Connor
Workshops
Meetings are scheduled every other week, to allow you time to work through the assignments, ask questions anytime, and for additional support join our online community.
All in person workshops are suspended until further notice. I highly recommend anyone one of my online options.
Live online workshops
I will be offering more live workshops online, that range from a few hours to 2-3 days.
Most updates are limited to my mailing list through my school.
Why choose an online watercolor workshop or course?
It's like having your own private workshop in the comfort of your own home, where you can watch every stroke and hear my thought process. Depending on the course, most lessons are already being within the curriculum, so you can paint at your own pace. Ask questions, receive painting critiques and in many ways it's exactly the same, or even better that an in person workshop, along with an ongoing supportive community.
What are the bi-weekly meetings like?
Meetings are scheduled every other week, to allow you time to work through the assignments, ask questions anytime, and for additional support join our online community.
