September Painting Workshop in Beautiful Maine!

Lobster Buoys in a Tree

I am excited to return to Maine this September with the focus on just painting the beautiful scenery. Join me!  I am teaching a class called Watercolor Journaling.  Using watercolors and mixed-media, we will create beautiful journal pages!  Students will explore ways to make their travel journal interesting and reflective of their Maine experience.  The workshop is held near the quaint coastal village if Bass Harbor on Mount Desert Island.  If you are interested or want more information, please feel free to email me.  I also can give you some ideas of where to stay.

Just for You - Getting started with watercolor

Registration is now open for my online workshop, Watercolor Toolbox.  The workshop starts today, June 6, 2016.  This workshop is especially for beginner watercolor artists.  Here are some of the things that are covered in this workshop:  how to correctly set up your watercolor palette, which brushes and paper to use, watercolor basics such as how to do a wet-into-wet wash, how to glaze, using value in your paintings.  The final project will be a fun, easy watercolor painting. 

Artful Gathering Starts Tomorrow!

Watercolor Toolbox Workshop starts tomorrow and runs for 6 weeks!  If you are new to watercolor this is the class for you!  

Have you ever wanted to try watercolor painting but did not know how to start? In this fun class, you will discover what makes watercolor painting exciting and beautiful. Exploring techniques to get you started on your artistic journey, you will learn the correct way to set up a palette and care for your watercolor art supplies as well as a variety of basic watercolor techniques. All your examples can be put into a file or journal creating a toolbox for future reference. This workshop is the perfect introduction to watercolor painting!
