Your Instructor, Nina Suggs
Nina Suggs is a contemporary Water Color artist who lives and works in Stamford, CT. A native of Tennessee. Her colorful paintings pay homage to her roots and love for all types of art. Nina enjoys painting subjects with definite reflections and shadows, allowing her to experiment with color to create depth and dimension. Her distinctive personal style is realism, created with many washes along with lifting techniques. All are brought to life with light and color, jumping off the paper with bold compositions and harmony.
A visual storyteller at heart, Nina has been a creative soul since she was young. As a child, she would sit at her mother's sewing machine, make purses out of cut-up old jeans, and then decorate them with hand-embroidered flowers. Nina also loved to draw, using her sister's Golden Books as a reference to learn from. Always the creator at heart, she found herself experimenting with all styles and artistic mediums, from knitting to ornate paper crafts, pencil sketches, to oil painting. Nina ultimately discovered her passion for watercolor after attending a workshop. She loved the medium so much that she started painting daily. An autodidactic learner at heart, Nina has spent thousands of hours honing her craft. Her love and skill for Water Color continue to grow, and she can be found in her studio creating daily.

Nina helped me learn how to create depth in my paintings and I had so much fun learning!
I have been painting for a couple years now but felt I had more to learn. I took a live class with Nina and it was so much fun. I learned more about water control and how to paint wet on wet, and wet on dry techniques that I did not know how to do before. Nina helped me learn how to create depth in my paintings by showing me techniques that will create more value in my painting and how to balance that with the highlights to give the subject life and become three dimensional. I also learned how to mix my colors to achieve the right colors I needed. I would highly recommend Nina's classes and online lessons. She is patient, very informative and will definitely help you learn how to grow as a painter.

Discovering the Art of Watercolor: A Novice's Journey with Nina's Masterful Guidance
I am very new to watercolor. Haven't ever really painted anything before I took one of Nina's classes. I wasn't sure how to get started in watercolor, but I knew I wanted to give it a try. Nina made it so easy for me to learn how to use my brushes along with the paint in varying amounts of water to get a soft pastel color on the paper and how to mix less water into the paint for a more vibrant and saturated color. Nina also taught me about harmony in my painting. And how using certain colors together would make the process much easier and the painting come out looking cohesive. I really learned a lot and want to continue learning more from Nina. I plan on taking more classes so I can elevate my skill level. Nina is an excellent teacher. She takes you through the process of your painting step by step, making sure to give details on what she is doing and why. Actually getting to understand the why to the how was amazing.
