6 Weeks of Cute & Whimsy with Me, Tam! 🥰
If you love cute things (like REALLY cute things), this is the course for you!
We’ll explore how to paint joyful, gentle, and character-filled creatures in watercolour, adding layers of personality with expressive brushwork and charming details.
Whether you’re a beginner or seasoned creative, I’ll walk you through every step with kindness and encouragement. My mission? To help you connect to your inner child, your imagination, and your happy place. Yayyy! 🎉

Who is your teacher?
Hi! I am Tam (also known as willowing), I’m a mixed media artist, teacher and author. I love making art and I love even more helping people to create self-connecting and life-enriching art works that support creative and personal growth. I’ve been teaching since 2008 and it’s been my absolute honour and joy to have taught over 50k students over the years!
I’m super excited about this new course and can’t wait to see what kinds of exciting mixed media paintings you’ll create!

Suggested Art Supplies
Please note: you don’t need exactly all the art supplies I use, you can substitute/ replace some with others you already have.
- 6-10 Sheets of hotpressed watercolour paper – 140lbs (I use Saunders and Waterford, but any good brand will do, other good brands are: Fabriano, Daler-Rowney, Canson). If you want to work on cold pressed that is fine too, but I my personal preference is hotpressed watercolour paper.
- Watercolour paints. I use the brand Schmincke and Daniel Smith. These brands are pricey though, you can start with a student grade brand if you don’t want to invest in an expensive set. Other good brand examples are: Jane Davenport, Paul Rubens, Arteza, Winsor Newton.
- Watercolour paint brushes. I use a mix of brands; Princeton (pricey), Fuumuui (cheaper but lesser quality) and Daler Rowney Aquafine (medium pricing).
- Some Acrylic Inks by Liquitex and/or Daler-Rowney – Optional – if you don’t have these, don’t worry you can use heavy body acrylics instead
- A graphite pencil for drawing and an eraser.
- Black and White acrylic pens by Posca, Sharpie or Artistro.
- Colour pencils for mark making/ some shading
- Stabilo All Pencil in black (and brown optionally)
- Blending Stump
- Optional: watercolour crayons Caran D’ache Neocolor II.
- I also use some Tombow Markers on this course, but they are optional too, if you don’t have them, you can use other coloured markers, or paint.
