Hey there! I'm Anthony Pfohl, Jr., and I've been teaching drawing and watercolor for more than five years now. I founded Watercolor Guru because I noticed that most online watercolor instruction is overly-simplified, seeming to glaze over the important details.
I like to teach students the real, actual methods that I use to make a finished work, not just the theory. My classes dive deep into the nitty-gritty of painting, and my students finish feeling confident in what they learned and enthusiastic to keep learning.
Thanks, and I'll see you in class!
