Watercolor Classes

My Techniques
I instruct with clarity and
patience each step of the way
so students (see photos) do not
get confused, lost, or left
behind.
Unlike the usual methods being
taught where you draw the
subject matter and paint each
area like a coloring book, in
my classes there is no need to
draw in most cases. The
absence of boundaries frees
your mind and allows you to
paint with a sure, relaxed hand.

The Watercolor Dance
I teach based on the principle that
painting watercolor is a dance
between you and the medium.
There may be guidelines to follow,
but the dance is fun. There is a flow
about this interplay that is
spontaneous, and makes painting
refreshing and satisfying.
The class begins with a series of
studies -- where I demonstrate
each technique and you practice it
till you gain confidence. Then you
implement what you've learned and
complete a painting you can be
proud of by the end of the 3-hour
class.

Why Watercolors?
Painting watercolors is a
rewarding experience -- all
you really need is a sense of
adventure.
Beginners are welcome,
because beginners learn just
as quickly and are sometimes
less inhibited! But whether
you've painted before or not,
learn to break free from
limitation. Create the "loose
and carefree" look. Add extra
techniques to your repertoire
or improve upon what you
already know. Remember,
every painting is a bold
experiment.
I conduct private lessons,
where you get the most out of
personalized instruction. I do
not offer ongoing group
classes.
