Digital courses courses
Below are the two signature courses I offer as digital downloads, allowing you to follow at your own pace, and learn all the watercolor skills systemically, in an easy-to-follow manner!
From Zero to Hero 30 Day Watercolor Bootcamp
Designed for absolute beginners, this watercolor helps you build strong muscle memories of working with the medium, while expanding your horizon in learning about composition, brush works, color mixing, drawing, understanding values and shapes – by simply having you paint 1 small painting per day for 30 days.
5 Simple Steps to Watercolor Mastery
This course is designed for painters with some experience in watercolor and are ready to learn how to paint their own subjects artfully. It is also for painters who want to level up core skills in composition and painting execution that allow them to consistently deliver paintings with clear focal area, balanced tonal range that tell a compelling story.

I've taken many workshops over the years but Ina's instruction tops them all. She helped me see what I was doing wrong, and showed me how the techniques can be applied directly to the photo I've been wanting to paint but don't know how to start! What a productive, enjoyable class. Thank you!

It is just eye opening to see you at work up close. You not only do it, but also explain the principles so well that I immediately get it. You are a great teacher and so encouraging too. You helped me see my own strengths and amplify them through the way I paint.

I finally I don't hate looking at my own work anymore, thanks to your patient teaching and your ability to break down complex things in easy terms. I started the class feeling doubtful of myself but I left the class feeling I can do it!
