About The Class

Strengthen your watercolor paintings with dynamic composition!

Start with easy to use composition ideas that will strengthen  your paintings right away. Build on the simple ideas with approaches to value, space, direction and balance that will supercharge your work!

Since it is fall, most in-class subjects will be the fall landscape. There will also be pre-class work where you will choose your own subject. These can be any subject - landscape or not.

  • The weekly critique of pre-class work is one of the most popular elements of my classes.

    HOW ITS DONE: Individuals submit their ‘homework’ images by email. All images are imported into Photoshop where I am able to critique, correct, comment.

    The critique is recorded and made available on Sunday mornings for review before Monday’s class.

  • This class will work for anyone other than absolute beginners.

  • Since class occurs during Fall, most in-class subjects will be fall landscape scenes.

    Pre-class homework may be any subject you choose, landscape or otherwise.
