Mark Polomchak — watercolor artist and instructor
Our Story
Hope studied watercolor with Mark Polomchak at the 2025 Oklahoma City Painting Palooza. Coming from an oil-painting background, watercolor had always felt less predictable and a little intimidating. Mark changed that.
His classes made watercolor feel accessible, practical, and far less mysterious. Hope began painting more watercolor pieces than she ever expected and found herself applying the same compositional thinking she already knew from oils in a new medium. That experience opened a door rather than simply teaching a single project.
