My goal as an instructor is to present you with as much design and color theory information as time allows and encourage you to take advantage of the inherent wet into wet qualities of watercolor.
I believe in the power of planning and understanding the basics. The objective is not to change you, but to add to your core of knowledge. Then it is up to you to take this knowledge and apply it to the style and subject matter that suits you.

 

Finished paintings are not our objective; the planning and designing of your paintings is.

Your afternoons will have daily demos, lectures, color or design projects; and day end critiques and questions.

 

The stress will be placed on how to plan a painting, the importance of values, design and composition.

​
