I Have two workshops coming up this April and hope you can join me. Register early for a discount!
Introduction to Watercolor:
Class #: AR425 Register Now
Watercolor is a beautiful and versatile medium which has recently been
embraced by contemporary art practice. It is suited for larger studio
work, for quick journal and travel sketches, or for painting in
plein-air. In this workshop I will work with both beginning and intermediate students through one on one instruction, as well as introduce you to all
aspects of watercolor materials and techniques such as color,
transparency, texture, wet into wet; and for more advanced students, composition, structuring a painting, using color effectively, and more advanced notions such as making the "white" the focus of a painting (which is very effective in watercolors since the white will bolster the presence of the paper). As always, I like to expose students to different artists working in different styles. The class is concerned with helping you find your own voice within the painting experience.
Cost: $135 (if registered up to one week before the class begins)

I will also be teaching a class,
Painting with Water media, that broadens the focus on exciting mediums and materials used to make a watercolor painting. This semester I want to focus on working on mylar, and both acrylic and traditional inks. More on that below:
Class #: AR478 Register Now
The purpose of this class is to engage you in a laboratory
of contemporary practice using water based media such as watercolor
paint, gouache, and ink. The spontaneity and luminosity of water based
material on paper is unsurpassed. You will begin to set up experiments
that will lead you to your own unique visual language. Methods of
critical analysis, color literacy, contemporary painting issues, and
basic painting methods and skills will be introduced. There will be
slide lectures, suggested exhibitions and readings, and group
interaction through critiques and shared experience.
