Here’s your chance to immerse yourself in the unique, beautiful color and art of Santa Fe! We’ll paint in vibrant plazas and markets and explore with our sketchbooks the cultural heart of this historic city. Field trips to galleries and museums to study the iconic work of Georgia O’Keefe, the area’s exciting folk art, and the rich heritage of Southwest painting will leave you inspired. Demonstrations and lessons in watercolor and sketching technique, understandable color theory, and approaches to fast and accurate drawing will help you improve your sketchbook and painting skills. This intensive workshop will be both fun and an opportunity to seriously improve your use of color and your sketchbook skills.

Artist Statement:
My goal in teaching is to help you develop your own individual art approach while also emphasizing foundational approaches to painting. My classes emphasize understanding the language and history of visual art, especially color and composition, rather than “how-to” paint specific subjects or paint in a particular style. My goal is for you to leave our workshop enthused about your own painting and with an appreciation of art as an always challenging, ever-engaging lifelong journey.
