Private Art classes in Seattle, Watercolor

The last 18 months i have done a deep dive into over 30 years of my own travel photos. Exploring these images as small scale watercolors. Its only natural that this would carry over into my teaching practice once I opened the studio for limited classes. Currently I am full, but feel free to send me an email if you are interested.

Now I just need to remember to take more photos and document the progress.

 Student work! 8x10 watercolor on cold press watercolor paper. We were both thrilled with the finished painting. My student is a high school senior with no previous formal art classes. The project took 5 hours to complete. Patience....

Work in progress, after about 3, 1 hour sessions. Painting takes patience, close observation and learning about the properties of the materials.

Falling leaves water color project

The fall session is under way...  

Beautiful fall colors to inspire a water color study of warm colors and cool colors.

I do like to mix up the paper formats so this time a horizontal format to emphasis the falling leaves.

Students worked on 15x6 water color paper sheets, oil pastel, water colors and some salt effects.

I asked the students to try something different in each leaf.

Students range in age from 6-8 years old.
