Do you love watercolor?
Are you interested in history? Landscape?
Artists who have made their mark with watercolor?
Do you appreciate small, supportive, low-key environments
with a lot of personal attention?
My private online courses may be for you.
One of my favorite ways to help students develop a relationship with watercolor
is to demonstrate, practically, how the medium entered into our culture
and was developed by individuals throughout history.
On this path, we explore and experiment with
color, pigments, paper, composition and approaches to painting
after learning to see and analyze paintings from the inside out.
Discover how to think like a painter while developing
skills and understanding of the living medium of watercolor
as you copy watercolors, oils, pastels and drawings.
By copying masters, our personal styles and tendencies are revealed
and you make those "copies" your own.
After many, many years of teaching absolute beginners
the basics of drawing and watercolor,
I now offer a path for painters experienced
with the foundation elements of drawing and watercolor.
Explore the medium while supporting your practice and expression
wherever you happen to find yourself.
Watercolor is a practice.
If this sounds like a good fit for what you need,
reach out to me.
If you need some remedial support,
I can provide a succinct beginners path in drawing and watercolor
to remind you of the basics.
All you really need is interest, courage and commitment and a sense of humor.
I am now taking application for Summer of 2024.
Unsure? We'll figure out the best path for you.
