Orange/Blue Watercolor

My favorite part is the subtle purplish color in the foreground. I think I may fix the vase to make it more symmetrical.

Old Favorite

Sometimes I go back and do the same set-up to see how I'm doing; what I've learned. It's an interesting practice!

6x6 inches!


I worked outside of my comfort zone in both size and substrate, This is linen canvas. It's ok, Still prefer smooth boards. They seem to let the paint sit on the surface. You can then you can work the paint easier!

Classes on Skype

I am starting classes in my home!! As of now there are three people in the class. It will be on Mondays at 1:30 eastern time. We are starting off with drawing basics. We will cover how to measure, how to draw ellipses and how to use perspective. We will then move onto either oil or watercolor depending on a majority vote. The class will be open to a few additional students via Skype. I've never done this  so not sure if I will be able to see skypers drawings well enough to make comments right on the spot but maybe you can scan or photograph your drawings/paintings and email them to me for comments. Students will also be welcome to just watch and learn without having to submit any works.  If any one is interested please shoot me an email and we can discuss this further. It's back to school!!
