Getting Started with Watercolor 2013 starting soon!

Do you want to learn how to paint with watercolor?
Knowing where to start is the first step in learning how to paint in watercolors. This class series is designed for the artist who is new to watercolor,  those who are coming from another medium, or anyone who wants a refresher course in the foundations and fundamentals of watercolor basics.
The Getting Started with Watercolor series is divided into 7 classes. With each class Susie provides easy to follow step-by-step written instructions complete with color illustrations. You will start your own watercolor notebook (included) that will serve as great reference for your use as you continue on your watercolor journey.
(YES! this class included the popular color mixing class everyone is asking for!)

The Getting Started Class curriculum is covered in seven classes,
 
The Seattle Class meets March 22, April 12 and 26, May 10 and 24, June 7 and 21.

The Bellevue Class meets March 27, April 17, May 1 and 22, June 5, 19, and 26.

There will be additional exercises to be completed as homework between each class.

Cost is $325 in advance   or $350 @ $50/ class if you wish to pay as you go.
Notebook and printed material is included. Painting supplies are not included.

February Already!

My oh my, where does time go? We are already into February.

I've been painting on some new projects and working on some new videos to be released this spring. It seems like when I'm in production mode the whole world races past me while I'm locked in my own secret studio. I promise I don't have my head in the sand! Or do I? (Smile) Now that's a picture to imagine!

I had a nice visit with my son, Hunter, visiting from Texas. He was here for almost a week and believe it or not it didn't rain the whole time he was here. I wish he could have stayed longer and I wish there weren't so many miles between us so we could visit more often. Sigh, if only!

The subject for my Wednesday evening class this month has been 'birds.' We are working with masking fluid and learning techniques for painting wet-in-wet backgrounds as a back drop for our feathered friends.

I'll attach my bird painting demo (in progress) and update it in a couple of weeks.

Happy Painting everyone!

Paint the Wildflowers of the Pacific Northwest is the next watercolor class I will be teaching in Seattle at the Daniel Smith Classroom.
Working from an assortment of high resolution digital photos taken over the past 3-4 years in Mt Rainier National Park and the Cascade foothills this class will focus on close-up views of individual flowers as well as natural groupings or clusters of wildflowers as they can be found in the meadows or along the trails.
Seating is limited to 14 painters. There are still a few seats left so if you want to join us for a fun day of painting wildflowers call my studio @ 253-859-1111 asap.
