C L A S S E S

We will continue classes from month to month.
I may need to change some of the dates because of travel commitments.

If you are interested in any of the classes, please email me and I will send you a registration form.

If you can't make some of the classes in a particular month, just pay for the ones you can.

$40 each class.

For $55, email me about taking a "Try It" class. It will includes supplies.

Watercolor Supply List

"Fundamentals of Watercolors & Oils"

These are the basics of what I teach in watercolor and oils.

The Design Process
Developing sketches from photos and life to use as planning tools for making good paintings

Value Studies
We'll take our sketches and decide on where the lights and darks are in our compositions

How to Handle the Paint
Learn how to determine the correct water to paint ratio, what kind of brush strokes can be made,
washes, dry brush and wet-into-wet application. With oils, understand the viscosity
and application of paint and mediums.

How to Mix Colors
We use a limited palette of warm and cool primary colors, plus a nuetral brown.
Using a limited palette gives us color harmony.

Demos, Paint Alongs & Critiques
I will demonstrate a topic and we will paint along to give you hands on experience.
We will also have periodic critiques so you get the feedback you need to improve.

We will work from still life set ups and landscape photographs.
