Classes

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.
