I hope you all are having a wonderful summer. As I sit here and write this I cannot believe summer is almost over.
A few weeks ago I took an inspiring workshop with artist, Carl
Purcell. He really didn't present anything I didn't already know but he
presented it in a way that I saw things a little differently. It was a
great time to recharge my creative batteries. But now it is time to
look toward fall and what will be happening at the Missouri Botanical
Garden. I will be teaching four classes, three in the fall and one in
January. Please note for the first time there is an advanced watercolor
class on Monday evenings. Here are the classes and the links:
Watercolor: Beyond the Basics
The
class will cover everything from advanced techniques to expanding your
color choices. There will be more emphasis on design and integrating it
into your art. As you can see from the supply list we will be painting
on different watercolor paper surfaces. You might find something you
like better than cold press paper. I also want participants to work
with larger brushes. It is a time to experiment with
the conventional tools of watercolor. Here is the link to register.
Painting with An Artist's Eye:
This
is the third time I have taught this class. I have never taught it as
an evening class but I felt there was enough interest for an evening
advanced class that it was time. The term "advanced" only means that
the participating artists have mastered basic watercolor technique and
have a desire to expand their experience. Artists should also have the
desire to work independently on a subject of their own choosing.
Watercolor: The Color of Fall
The
description says it all. I want to pull all the things we love about
fall from colors to subject matter into this class. Here is the link:
Watercolor Unleashed: Creativity
The January class is turning into one of my favorites to teach. It is
the "outside the box" class. It is only four weeks but it is always a
fun class to make January more interesting, avoiding the winter blahs.
Here is the link:
One
last thing to think about for next year: I will be teaching a portrait
workshop June 6, 7, and 8, 2014 at the Maria Center. More information
will be sent out after the first of the year.
If you need anymore information don't hesitate to contact me.
