I've had lots of requests for another basic class so here we go!



  • If you have never painted with watercolor before, or have, but it turned into a nightmare - come and give it a go with me!


  • Whether you feel you have zero talent or no drawing skills, this class will show you quite differently.


  • I will take you step by step through the process of creating a lovely, bright impressionistic floral which we will slip under a mat when done.  All You will need to get is a frame to hang your first masterpiece!


  • We will spend about 10 minutes going over a few basics so you are in the drivers seat with the paint.  Just a few simple techniques to help get you started.


  • Then you get to create your own version of the piece I am demonstrating - choose your own colors, create your own composition. 


 Seats available -  7 - FULL


All materials are provided, so just bring yourself for a fun couple of hours spent with great classmates..

  • If you want just to come and practice your ink work or watercolor techniques this is a great space and time to do that too.


  • Please bring your incomplete art - your own materials (paints, pencils, paper etc)


  • I have water vessels, pallets etc so no need to bring those.

Buggin' Out

 Sunday/Monday - January 11th & 12th - 2 day workshop

9:30 - 2:30 - $110.00


  • Build some bugs and maybe a bird to keep the bugs company! 


  • (I haven't actually done the painting yet so as soon as I get it done I will post here - but you get the idea from the wee bloke pictured here.)


  • I will provide all the materials and take you step by step building these cuties so you end up with something uniquely YOUR invention not mine.


  • We will practice on  scratch paper first, then on the final watercolor paper, you will draw, ink, then paint your character bugs and pals.


  • On day 1 we will finish up the inking and maybe begin the painting process.


  •  On day 2 we will finish the painting process and touch up as needed.



These classes are on the long side so bring a light lunch or snack and I will provide the carbs and coffee.
