Private Live Online Watercolor Painting Lessons

I have been teaching water painting for almost 10 years..
This is a very exciting class! Students will learn How to Paint Watercolors, How to hold a watercolor brush and Basic Brush Control Exercises etc...
I will get you started and perhaps inspire you, as a watercolor painter. I can supply lessons on the craft and skills, but purpose is what is driving you to want to try to create art. What that vision is, is unique for everyone. The footsteps of the path that lies before you are yours to follow until you can find your own path.

I have over thirty years experience teaching both privately and in group situations. I teach all levels from beginning and as young as six years old to the most advanced students. We never stop learning!

I started a very successful after school art program for kids grades 1-6 and taught it every day for over three years. I then expanded and had other artists teach it, eventually giving it to a non profit art organization in the San Diego area, after a successful ten year run.

If you are a beginner, I will help you to feel confident on your skills.

Lessons may cover: Basic techniques. Designing your composition. Mixing vibrant colors. Wet-on-wet. Loose watercolors. Dry brush. Round brush. Flat brush. Textures--using salt, dabbing, scratching, lifting, etc. Light source. Loosening up. Glazing. Stretching paper. Taking care of brushes. Paint selection. Painting outdoors in the open air, from photographs, or from still lifes. Using your phone to help you edit your painting. All levels--from beginner to advanced. Demonstrations on cresting watercolors in the style of famous watercolorists. From beginning to advanced.
Additionally, you can schedule a lesson and let me know that you want to use it as a critique to review some of your work. I recommend the 45 minute session for a critique.

Have you wanted to enjoy the outdoors by painting in watercolor? Watercolor is a great traveling medium. I will show you the basics of watercolor and landscapes so you can take to the open air and make art a part of your traveling experience . You can either meet with me in parks or at your home studio. I can also show you these principles online or give you feed back to about the watercolors you have started.

Become the artist you always wanted to be! Whether you are an aspiring artist, a total beginner, a teen building a competitive portfolio, or someone who's always wanted to learn to paint, I will help you develop your technical skills and find your voice as an artist! In our lessons, you will paint from life, exploring composition, concept, and mood through creative assignments. We will train your eye as you paint still lifes, landscapes, portraits, figures, abstractions, and beyond! I will show you examples of historical and contemporary painting as we practice a range of techniques. You will gain confidence through practice and experimentation as you work towards developing your own style as an artist! And most importantly, you’ll have fun! I can’t wait to work with you!
