Watercolor for Kids is in its ninth year of providing after school art enrichment opportunities to schools in Southwest Portland. By using inspiration from nature and everyday life subjects with an emphasis on whimsy, students create original masterpieces. The classes are led by Erin Duke, a certified teacher and mom. Erin has a passion for art. She strives to pass that love of art on to all of her students. The watercolor classroom is a calm, safe space where children can find joy in painting as they develop a lifelong hobby.
