What to Expect in my Art Classes
Always an avid student myself, I now have the privilege of helping guide other artists in the direction of exciting new pathways and illuminating different perspectives that are possible within their own art.
Every class or workshop I teach, even every YouTube video I've yet to make, I want you to walk away from knowing a little bit more about how to get the results you want in your own art.
My goal is less to tell you how I create my art, and more to distill the thought processes that you can use to evolve your own practice into a better form of itself.
AT THE END OF THE DAY,
YOU DON'T WANT SOMEONE TO TELL YOU HOW TO PAINT LIKE THEM,
YOU WANT SOMEONE TO HELP YOU
PAINT LIKE YOU, BUT BETTER.
Where I teach:
I like to offer different class types, platforms, and opportunities to meet each student's unique availability, learning behavior, or physical location. Local to the Berkshires? Try an in-person class! Learn better at home or at your own pace? I recommend one of my online offerings!
A versatile approach to the art of watercolor painting, this class will familiarize students with supplies, theory, and techniques. Practicing washes and brushwork, students will learn about water control and working with their paints. We'll slowly expand the skills covered to include more subtle and nuanced techniques each week. By the end of the class students should have a foundation to pursue watercolor techniques in a variety of methods. This class is open to new and continuing students.

WATERCOLOR FOUNDATIONS
Stay tuned!
Sign up for Monochrome
A one-session workshop focused on the application of watercolors using just one color. In this class you’ll create a landscape composition using a dark green watercolor paint (or choose between dark blue, brown, or black). By not having to think about color, you’ll be able to better focus on getting the right shades or value, making this a great workshop for beginners and practicing students alike!

This is a confident-beginner to intermediate + level class. Students should already be familiar with their paints and supplies. Use the suggested materials list just to see scope of what to bring. As we will be on location, dress appropriately for the day’s conditions (sunscreen/drinking water) and maybe stash a folding stool in your car!
