- All the arts we practice are apprenticeship. The big art is our life. - M. C. Richards
General Information:
My
teaching
style is informal, and I welcome students at all different levels of
skill. Our objective always is to appreciate the landscapes around us,
and to capture some of that beauty in watercolor on paper. In addition,
I have found that the camaraderie and good humor of the group helps one
and all (including me!) through some unique challenges inherent in
this illusive medium.
Unless otherwise
specified, we meet from 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM with a break for lunch
mid-day.
For outdoor
workshops, we recommend bringing a portable folding stool
or chair and a light
weight easel along with your materials if you are
not comfortable working on the ground (or sitting on a log, etc.!) I
will do a demonstration painting and several studies during each day,
but will spend the rest of my time assisting and critiquing students as
they work.
