The main two techniques
​I teach are 'wet on wet and 'lifting colors.

I understand the struggles of being a beginner in watercolor painting, as I too have experienced it. In fact, when I first started, I didn't even know the basics like wet on wet technique and used watercolors like acrylics. However, after posting my first youtube video, I began learning to control the paint and water, with a goal to master the art of watercolor painting. Today, my focus is on my students, and I aim to share my knowledge on creating realistic objects in watercolor to help them improve.
​
There is nothing that brings me more joy than seeing you succeed. After all, your success is my success.

​Why Wet on Wet?

“Wet on wet” is a painting technique that is actually quite forgiving.

Many beginners tend to avoid it because seeing water on their paper can be overwhelming. However, this technique can help you avoid overworking areas, getting too detailed, and mistakes can often be fixed by lifting the colors.

Wet on wet painting allows for a lot of freedom, where you don’t have to worry about creating endless hard edges.

I want to help artists like you paint with watercolor comfortably, like the artist you have always dreamed to be.

What is your biggest struggle with watercolors?

Creating softness?
Painting ‘wet on wet?
Avoiding ‘blooms?
Creating realistic paintings?
Painting shadows?
Dimension?
Creating contrast?
Proportions?
Composition?

I can help you understand and learn how to avoid these mistakes!

What my students have to say about my teaching.

Christina B.

"A blend of loose watercolor techniques with just enough detail to bring paintings to life is what drew me to Maria’s tutorials. From Maria’s tutorials and classes, I have learned which parts of the watercolor painting to concentrate on details and which parts to imply. Although I have been learning from Maria for over a year, I still have so much to learn. In this short time, however, my paintings have gone from sitting in a practice stack to me confidently sending them to family and friends — even asking for photos of their pets to paint! "

"I have always loved to create and to paint but for a long time I didn't touch a brush. Then I fell and hit my head and couldn't do anything with TV, computer, phone etc then I started to paint again. I followed some different artists and was quite happy with the result, but I didn't get why and so many times I guessed what to do next in my painting. Then after almost a year I suddenly stumbled over at video of Maria's it was a farrytale forrest and I loved the outcome. I searched for her and joined her Patreon channel. For every tutorial I learned some more and I'm so grateful for both the teachings and the response from Maria. She is really an awesome teacher and since I work as both music teacher and principal I know a good teacher when I see one :) The best with Maria is that she doesn't only show how to do certain techniques and painting methods but she explains why she does what she does. All in all you get tools that you can use in your own painting. 


A good teacher teaches how to do something a great teacher gives you the tools and knowledge to use what you have learnt in new ways of your own!"

"I found Maria Raczynska on YouTube and I joined her Patreon site in March of 2018. During that time, my watercolor skills have improved remarkably! Her tutorials are informative and instructional to help her students develop their skills on a personal level. Maria is receptive to questions and frequently gives valuable insights and encouragement to those who are learning. She takes an interest in her students to direct them to develop their skills and their own personal art styles.
 I have also taken many of her courses from Teachable. Her courses were easy to follow and many times included warm up exercises to help her students develop the skills of the course. I am looking forward to her new school as I know that I am in for professional and enjoyable courses. If you are looking for a teacher to help develop your watercolor skills, I highly recommend Maria. My experience with Maria has been more than exceptional."

"Maria is a big artist, but also she is a talented teacher! It always amazes me how Maria conducts each tutorial, and how she creates her lessons, and how she explains rules and different techniques of watercolor painting , her way of guidance is fantastic! I consider myself very lucky that I was able to find Art School like that, to have a teacher who not only leads you forward, but also supports and inspires, she is the artist who created a wonderful community of watercolor enthusiasts from all around the globe! Whether you are a beginner or experienced watercolorist, this is the school for you! This is the place where it is fun to learn, pleasure to follow tutorials, and joy to share artworks!"
