Like monoprint drawing, working on a plate; so many tools available on the iPad.

Teaching has been ‘so far, so good,‘ actually, wonderful this Fall.
Recently, I have found how much overlap with concept there is from class to class; whether it is a composition class, watercolor workshop or a drawing seminar. I find it is all about Design. The energy level of the student’s are terrific; they are receptive and ready each class.
At times, my weekends are full and my 2 days a week evening classes can be tricky to manage after a full days work at the architect’s desk. However, the teaching revives thanks to my students and has made me a better designer, manager and motivator.
All good.
You are more ready than you think; really.
I get a lot of inquiries about my classes…
do you take beginners?
can I do this?
Simply, yes.
Come experience my joy of teaching, it is contagious. I will inspire you.
You will create authentic works; one’s in which you will be amazed and insipred.
Hope you join us.

A great watercolor class last night with two eager students ready to get painting!
This demo was about the re-introduction of the 4 main variables (thank you Tom Hoffmann): color, value, wetness and compostion.
I call this the ‘shopping list’ when approaching a watercolor.
My palate was fairly simple; limiting to 3-4 color choices, though I ‘threw in’ a spark of turquoise at the final moments. I am loading the brush with more color and paint.

So excited about the new book and it is complete.
