About the Instructor
Elizabeth Manning lives in Bellaire, MI where she draws inspiration for her art from the woods and natural places around her home. Her mixed media style embraces techniques from watercolor, pen and ink, calligraphy, and printmaking to tell a story through her art. As a trained and experienced teacher, she fosters students’ confidence and creative potential as they grow as artists.
Student Testimonials
“I truly enjoyed taking this watercolor class! It was the best opportunity to learn some new skills while spending time around good people and playing with paint. Beth’s teaching style is so natural and considerate of many types of learners, and her knowledge and excitement about watercolor study is contagious! I would highly recommend.”

“Do it! I needed a creative outlet and this was great. It helped me to do something just for myself. Biggest thing I learned is to walk away. Often when returning the thing I wanted to crumple up and throw away looked pretty darn good.”
~Michelle
“Beth is an incredible teacher. Her positive and encouraging approach is an asset to artists of any ability level. The class offers structure but also plenty of time to practice skills and play.”
