Classes

You can paint, and I can teach you!

Let me begin by saying that you do not need some kind of special “gift” to paint! That is a complete myth! Painting is a skill, and like any skill, can be learned. The real truth is that painting is easy – and it’s FUN!

With that in mind, I have developed my “One-on-One Beginning Watercolor Workshop”. This 3 HOUR private one-on-one class teaches you all the basic skills and techniques you need to start painting watercolors on your own – not in a matter of weeks or months, but RIGHT AWAY! In fact, by the end of your workshop you will have completed your first full landscape painting, matted, and ready to frame!

All you need is desire and enthusiasm, I provide the rest!

Absolutely no prior painting or drawing experience is required, and all of the materials needed to complete your personal workshop are provided, including paint, brushes, watercolor paper, palette, easel, and mat for your completed landscape painting!

What’s covered?

Here’s what you’ll learn (and practice) in your workshop!

☆ Materials – what you’ll need to start painting on your own.

☆ The hake brush and how to use it.

Sounds like a lot to cover, but I will be right there painting along with you, guiding you every step of the way!

Whether you decide to learn with me, or by some other method, don’t put it off- start painting! It’s fun, it’s easy, and I promise you’ll wonder why you waited so long to give this wonderful and gratifying hobby a try!
