From Flat to Fabulous

Master the art of layering and get your flowers to stand out in Monochrome

Discover how you can use layering in watercolor so you can bring life to your paintings without focusing all your efforts in a single layer. 

This recorded workshop is for you if you:

  • Are new or seasoned in watercolor
  • Struggle with where to layer and how to enhance your painting. 
  • Can’t get past your first ‘ugly’ layer and find yourself giving up mid painting 
  • Feel that your paintings look flat and you can’t figure out how to improve it 

This 100 minute workshop will show you the possibilities using 1 color to paint (monochrome). 

While painting with colors is beautiful - colors trick your mind to think that you can create depth by adding an array of colors. 

Painting with a single color removes the distraction of color mixing and color theory. Instead, we will zoom in on developing a trained eye to build layers and depth through tonal values.

In the past, I would ‘finish’ my painting in 1 layer.

I thought that the only way to add shadow to my paintings meant blending or adding darker colors. Through my exploration - I have fine tuned my methods.

I want to show you how to bring our 3D world into your 2D space on paper and take all the guesswork away from you.

I get that adding layers to watercolor is difficult to know where to start because:   

  • we attach so much feeling to the first layer - at the start, it takes a lot of courage to paint. And when it is time to add a second layer - we become afraid of messing up our first layer. 
  • watercolor is a transparent medium and layering means that mistakes show through the layers. 
  • It is difficult to simplify and break down elements in your reference picture 

You need this workshop so that you can:

  • Stop relying on 1 layer when you paint 
  • Paint with intentional knowledge of the 4 elements that make your paintings stand out. 
  • Figure out how and where to ‘paint’ light and shadow using tonal values
  •  Understand what glazing is and how to use it in your paintings

Here is the value that you get out of $39 USD:

  • A 100 minute online workshop showcasing the tools to making your paintings pop even with 1 color 

But…why would you choose an online course over an in-person workshop:

  • You can view at your own time and place!
  •  You get to see how I paint up close. At an in-person group class, it is often tricky to view the instructors hand up-close.
  •  You get to follow up with a private community and maybe build some real relationships!

"I have attended a few workshops and no one gives the knowledge and insight like Jillian does! Florals always seem intimidating but Jillian taught so well and gave me courage to try!"

"The fact that you don’t hold anything back and your organized from step 1 through all the steps. Your teaching style is very easy to follow. I learned more about water control from you in this workshop than I ever have from all the very expensive workshop/classes I’ve taken."

"I just want to say that I've been painting with watercolor for 6 years and I learned more about watercolor from you today I have in super expensive workshops!"

Hello, I am Jillian

Also known as krafty fox

I am a watercolor artist based in Singapore. My 24/7 job is a mother - and I think in watercolor.

My 4 year old would tell you that “my mummy is a painter”.  

Painting is a space that I have carved out for myself in the busyness of motherhood. Specifically, painting flowers reminds me of how brief seasons are - just as how each season in motherhood is fleeting.

I believe that watercolor is an art that is best learnt by sharpening your skills instead of following steps

Let me simplify and break down the steps in watercolor to help you go from feeling discouraged, frustrated and making little progress - to gaining trust and clarity in the process.
