SUMMER 2025 CLASS SCHEDULE

Special 4 Week Critique Sessions

Wednesdays, August 13 to September 3, 2025 (4 weeks)
9:30 to 10:30 am PST

on Zoom
Limit 5 participants

For all of my Watercolor Studio classes, the most interesting time is during the group critiques at the end of class. It is a chance for each participant to get feedback from me, but also receive comments from the entire group. The discussions can often be lively and thought-provoking. I want to create a weekly space for this kind of dialogue. 

Artists can send me 1-3 images in advance of each class and I will incorporate them into a Powerpoint so we can view them full-screen.

Tuition: $100 for the entire series

Email me if you have questions or wish to reserve your space.

Over the five sessions, we will cover best practices for Handling a Brush, Controlling Water and Pigment, Mixing and Layering Colors, and Creating Textural Effects. All techniques will be demonstrated and include hands-on exercises. In addition, concepts will be illustrated and discussed in a slide presentation of works by noted artists.
