Watercolor Sip & Paint Classes on Dauphin Island

Looking for something fun to do on Dauphin Island? Join a beginner-friendly watercolor class and take home a one-of-a-kind vacation memory. Perfect for beginners, couples, families, and girl's nights.

What to Expect

All supplies are provided, including an original hand-sketched design. Just bring yourself and your beverage of choice. We'll start with a brief introduction to materials and techniques: how to prepare your paints, wet your brush, and apply color to paper. After a short practice exercise to build confidence, you'll begin your own painting. I'll be here to guide you throughout the process. You'll leave with a finished, frame-ready piece that's ready to display or share as a gift.

Beginner friendly by design

Can't draw? No Problem! I'll guide you step-by-step through a pre-sketched watercolor painting inspired by Dauphin Island and the Gulf Coast. Everyone works at their own pace, and every painting becomes a unique and personal creation.
