Happy Studio Workshop Students

 Spring - Summer 2018 Studio Workshops

Join me in my light-filled home studio for an afternoon of drawing and painting. These classes are for all levels, no experience necessary. Materials are included in the price of the class ($50 per student per class). Feel free to bring your own materials if you have them.

Studio Workshop Setup

Botanical Drawing and Watercolor Workshops

Working with live plant specimens, students will learn to draw and paint plants with accurate detail. We will go over the basics of botanical drawing and watercolor painting techniques. I will be teaching the classical botanical style of working in thin transparent layers of watercolor. Our plant subjects will be different for each workshop, usually what's in season.
