Description

Chapter 3, “Improve Your REALISTIC Paintings with ABSTRACT Studies” for “Watercolor Unleashed! The Notebook” – $3.00 

“Many have the idea that studies are strictly for beginners. Not so.  Check out the preliminary studies of Michelangelo, John Singer Sargent, Norman Rockwell!

Likewise, many have the idea that doing a study is tedious.  Not necessarily so!  If you love to paint, it can be assumed that you also love the feeling of success that comes from a nicely designed and rendered painting. I believe it is possible to love the entire process:  from inspiration – to drawing – to preliminary study – to painting.  It might take an “attitude adjustment” because a positive mind-set is crucial.  When it is fully realized that the prelimalry work helps enormously with the outcome, it becomes much easier to permit yourself to enjoy the entire process.  Don’t force yourself – allow yourself to relish the complete experience!”

My Teaching Philosophy

My goal is to individualize instruction as much as possible. I introduce the basics to the beginning student and work with the more advanced student in gaining a more solid knowledge of those same basic techniques, along with the all-important principles and elements of design. I always try to present material in a logical, practical manner, along with a large dose of encouragement with emphasis on motivation and personal taste. In class, beginning painters will work in a structured manner and ALL levels are encouraged to experiment and practice as much as possible in order to build confidence and experience with methods and materials. Workshops generally focus on a method or subject, while weekly classes may offer basic technique or independent projects with guidance as needed and “class projects” as requested. Whatever the venue, my over-riding objective is to support and assist each person in his or her search for individual artistic personality.
