SUBLIME WATERCOLOR: PAINTING WITH JOY!

Sublime Watercolor Painting With Joy!

My New Classes
“SUBLIME WATERCOLOR: PAINTING WITH JOY!”
Start October 15 and 16!

H

i, Painters! I’m pleased as punch to be offering two new watercolor classes called “SUBLIME WATERCOLOR: PAINTING WITH JOY!”

If you were in one of my classes last spring, you’ll recall that query I sent out asking about what you would like from your watercolor painting classes. You were super-generous in sharing your ideas—for that, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
Among the many great suggestions, two things stood out:
1) more time flexibility—quite a few people said terms of eight to ten weeks are too long and too difficult to fit into their schedules, and
2) a slightly longer class period, because for many, class time is their only opportunity to paint. So this fall we are trying something new: a five-week workshop, three hours per week.

You don’t need worry about whether you qualify. My classes are open to all.

My teaching experience has also been a learning one. One of the best insights? Beginners don’t remain beginners very long! That discovery has led me to adopt a “let’s get in the water and SWIM” approach—that is to say, we start on Day One with a few basic techniques, practice them for a little while, and then try to make a PAINTING! So far it has worked really well! And with three whole hours per class, there is time for that, and for much more!

So whether you:

  • haven’t painted in watercolor EVER, or at least not since you were in grade school
  • think “watercolor is too hard”
  • have painted in other media and want to give watercolor a shot
  • you have some—or even a lot—of experience …

come join us!
We are going to have A LOT OF FUN!
