About My Classes
Above all, you’ll experience a class that is both fun and informative. It is my earnest desire to help every student to grow and learn quickly.
Classes include demonstrations, one-on-one instruction and objective advice to help increase understanding and proficiency.
Fundamental skills are important, particularly for a tricky medium like watercolor. So every class and workshop has a focus on the fundamentals, presented in a way that makes them simple and understandable.
