Watercolor for Kids is in its eighth 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.

Payment is due once you receive a welcome letter, which will have more details about payment options. Venmo, PayPal, check, or cash.
Scholarship:
Every child deserves the right to create art. Each session I give out full and/or partial scholarships. To apply, please register your child and just indicate you are interested in a scholarship.
Absence and School Closure Policy:
If your child is absent for any reason or if there is a school closure for any unforeseen reason (weather, etc..) there will not be any refunds.
Cancellation Policy:
Once a session has begun no refunds will be given. If you cancel before the beginning of the session, money, minus any transaction fees, can be refunded.
Behavior Expectations:
The classroom is a safe calm space and children are expected to behave accordingly. There is a zero violence policy. I reserve the right to ask a student to not return when behaviors are disruptive to the environment.
