WORKSHOPS - AT HOME AND ABROAD
THREE-DAY WATERCOLOR WORKSHOP, SEDONA, ARIZONA. September 6, 7, 8, 2008. This three-day watercolor workshop is open to all levels from beginner to advanced. I will do two demos a day, showing how I paint on dry 300 lb Arches watercolor paper, layering and glazing with transparent pigment. On the last day, we will spend time working in opaque watercolor. Students will paint in the classroom for several hours each day while I spend individual time with each person. I will demonstrate how I stretch watercolor paper. Class time will be spent discussing the practical side of 'becoming an artist', which includes the all important ATTITUDE, framing, pricing, marketing, commissions, etc.
