Meet Your Instructor: Broderick Wong

Watercolor artist and instructor Broderick Wong smiling with paintings behind him.

I didn’t start as an artist—I worked in corporate training for years.

When I finally dove into watercolor, I hit the same frustrations many of my students do:


Watercolor felt unpredictable, and my results never matched my effort.

Everything changed when I learned to let the water do the work, instead of fighting against it. “I’ve been where you are. That’s why my courses focus on working with the water—not against it.”

Since then, I’ve created courses that have helped over 62,500 students rediscover their joy and confidence in watercolor.

I’d love to help you do the same.
