![I Critiqued a Beginner’s Watercolor Painting (What I’d Fix as a Pro)
What actually makes a watercolor painting work?
In this video, I walk through a beginner watercolor piece and share exactly what I love, what’s working, and what I would improve—based on 14 years of experience as a professional artist.
If you’ve ever wondered why your paintings don’t quite look the way you want them to, this kind of breakdown will help you see your work with a more trained eye.
We cover:
What the artist did really well (and should keep doing)
The biggest areas for improvement
Simple adjustments that would instantly elevate the piece
How to think like a professional watercolor artist
Whether youre just starting out or trying to refine your style, this will help you move from guessing → understanding.

![Change is Good (Heres Why)
For years, this channel has been about watercolor tutorials.
And that isn’t changing...but something is! (Full Video on My Channel)
Ive been realizing over the past few years that more than anything, people need to learn how to come up with their own creativity...not just become robots who can follow a step-by-step tutorial.
So starting next week, these videos will shift a little.
We’ll still paint together. But we’ll also slow down.
We’ll talk about creativity, fear, perfectionism, and everything painting has quietly taught me along the way.
Less “follow every brushstroke,” more “let’s spend some time making something beautiful together.”
The internet keeps getting faster and I want this space to feel slower. To help combat the constant chatter and interruption to the creative floooow.
I think we’re going to make something really special together.
♡ Jenna
