Lesson Outline
About Erin
Erin is an artist, illustrator, teacher, mother, hiker and lover of the colour green. Seriously, green on green is kinda her thing.
Back in the day she trained and worked in film production, however, having kids led her back to her true love, PAINTING and WRITING. All those crayons and crafts re-ignited the fire!
She started a Youtube channel where she shared her painting process to four thousand subscribers. She became a Skillshare teacher where her Whimsical Faces class was taken by over five hundred students and garnered excellent reviews.
Erin is a commercial illustrator and works with designers to create artwork for a variety of small businesses and brands. Recently she was published in Issue 52 of UPPERCASE magazine.
Writing her BLOG is one of her favourite things to do. She knows it's so mid-2000s but Blogs are the best! She writes about about the creative process, productivity, running a creative business, family life, spirituality and her journey through Breast Cancer.
Erin currently lives in Far North Queensland with her amazing husband, two marvellous daughters, a wolf-dog and a rascally cat.
Here's what my previous students have said about my classes...
" I am giddy and inspired!"
Erin's style speaks to me and every time she shares her techniques I am giddy and inspired. Every time. Seeing her work pushes me to do better and stretch my own creativity. I'm so grateful to her for sharing her gifts. Loved this class and will come back to it again and again.

I love this course so much I might do it again. It's wonderful and by far, as a beginner, the best I've painted and sketched before.
Naomi Hills
"A new way to use watercolour that has been endlessly helpful."
Great class! This gave me a new way to think of contouring with watercolour and has been endlessly helpful for me. I already used this technique in a portrait and it looks way better than I even thought it could. The instructor is very specific which was a fantastic help to me.
Jenna Rose

"Everything I needed to know!"
When I took up watercolour I could not find a lesson which worked for me. Then I watched Erin's lesson and it was great. She goes over everything I needed to know, including going step by step to show where and how to apply the paint as she did the painting. I would watch all her lessons
