You’ll learn how to capture scenes with lively lines and fresh watercolor washes, letting go of perfection and embracing the joy of sketching on location.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMy teaching will emphasize taking a thoughtful approach to sketching, where a few minutes of creative SketchDesigning at the start of a session can free you up to paint quickly and confidently. By brainstorming ideas for subject matter, page design, and text before you start sketching, you’ll open up a world of possibilities and infuse your sketchbook pages with your own unique style.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThroughout the week, you’ll enjoy plenty of one-on-one guidance, encouragement, and support. I get genuinely excited about what my students create during our time together.

The possibilities for subject matter at the ranch are unlimited: towering saguaros, mountain vistas, sun-bleached covered wagons, old homesteads, and fun details like cowboy boots and spurs. And we may even pop over to the nearby botanical garden or historic Spanish mission one day to mix things up a bit. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhen we’re not painting, we’ll enjoy the simple pleasures of the ranch, great food, amazing desert sunsets, and the camaraderie that comes from creating together.
