Private and Group lessons
I have seventeen years experience teaching art and design at the college level. I am a very conceptual instructor, and can explain not just what works, but why, giving you a solid foundation of principles on which to build. While you will be learning proven watercolor techniques, you will also be absorbing color theory, design principles, and so much more. Don't be afraid — I have a ton of experience working with beginners and am very kind and encouraging...while also pushing you to do and be your very best. Let me shorten your learning curve by teaching you all the tips and tricks I've gained over a lifetime of painting in watercolor. Private lessons starting at $50/hour in my home studio. Group lessons (at your location or mine) starting at $100/hour. (2-hour minimum to travel) Workshops: I am an experienced and popular workshop instructor and would love to come to your location and work with your group! Many exciting formats and topics to choose from. Materials: I can order everything you need to get started on a good path, with materials that work with you, not against you. My years of experience working with pigments and brushes will save you many hours of frustration and give you the best possible chance at success. More Virtual Learning:
