Watercolor Classes
I teach six-week classes in watercolor painting. The classes are designed for:
- beginning students who want to learn basic watercolor painting tecniques,
- intermediate and advanced students who are interested in more advanced techniques,
- and artists who want to learn about the presentation and exhibition of watercolors by participating in our annual exhibit.
Each session is structured around a theme, but students are welcome to bring paintings they want to work on for critique and/or instruction. The cost is $100 for a 6-week session. Drop-in students are welcome at $35 per session. Please let me know in advance if you want to drop in.
For information about my next session of watercolor classes called "Creative Sparks: Part I" download my flier. This six-week session designed to freeing your creativity starts on August 26, 2010.
Welcome to my site
I am an artist specializing in Colorado and Western landscapes.
My main media are watercolor and pen and ink with watercolor.
Over the years, I have experimented with many media: printmaking, sculpture, bookmaking, watercolor, oils, acrylics, and various drawing media. In our slick, digital, computer generated world, I want to see the impression made by the human hand. I like the wrinkles in handmade papers, the torn or deckle edge, and the imperfect flow of the paint on the surface. I like the intimacy we experience when we page through a book instead of looking at a computer screen.
Creating art has always been a spiritual experience for me. I create to satisfy my own curiosity about the magic in our lives. That magic appears on a sheet of paper when I draw a face, a moose, a flower. Visions of mountains, trees, and oceans appear when I paint shapes and colors. My work is representational and explores exterior and interior landscapes and the natural world.
