My figurative workshops in watercolor are intended to encourage and challenge students through design,
composition, contrast, movement, emotion, and most importantly a purpose for creating art. Through demos
and candid conversation I share my painting style and thoughts. Open to artists of all levels and mediums
18 and up. Students will see the versatility of watercolor when employing a higher ratio of pigment to water
and experiencing different paper surfaces and pigment properties.
Art organizations, small groups and individuals wishing to host a workshop may request a theme and date to
suit them. My studio is a great space for individual instruction or a small group of 4.
