This workshop starts with mixing a variety of green hues in watercolor.  I lead you through the process of drawing several styles of succulents.  I demonstrate several techniques of painting for variety.

We will cover pigment load, glazing, wet on wet, wet on dry, color blending, color mixing and basic brush strokes. Learn the basic properties of watercolor paints as you create your own color wheel.

Learn to draw a representation of what you see.  We will be focusing on what you have on your desk (art supplies) but the techniques can be translated to wherever you are and whatever you see.

Color mixing and blending can be quite relaxing.  This session takes you through the process of drawing a simple pattern of triangles with a masking pen and filling them in with varying values of watercolor.

The Zentangle Method is an easy-to-learn, relaxing, and fun way to create beautiful images by drawing structured patterns. Almost anyone can use it to create beautiful images.

Ever feel like you just want to understand color a bit better? This workhsop takes the mystery out of color mixing and gives you a hands on lesson using red, yellow, blue, white and black for mixing.

Add layers of acrylic paint and marks to a prepared canvas pouch.  This is a lesson in mark making that can be done on any surface.  We will finish the session with image transfer.

We cover color mixing from primaries and some simple drawing techniques as well as drawing "hacks" to paint these sweet succulents. You can make them "mini" or full sized. Drawing sample file included.

Create a richly layered background using more than 7 techniques.  Finish off by adding a grid and isolating a shape.  Each square of the grid is its own mini masterpiece.
