Why Elmspring Exists

Founding: Elmspring begins as a small workshop with five students.
Curriculum: We write a level‑based path that balances technique with play.
Critique: We add optional feedback sessions to accelerate mastery.

We believe watercolor is a thinking medium. Constraints create clarity; fewer tools create better habits.

Mission

Make watercolor learning calm, rigorous, and accessible for every motivated student.

Technique first, composition second, expression forever. Iteration through critique.

Instructors are active artists and patient mentors who care about your outcomes.

Commit to gentle practice, consistent reps, clear color choices, and honest critique.
