Eppson Center Watercolor Class


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have been teaching a watercolor class at the Eppson Center for the past eight months.  We have studied value, color theory, and light and shadow, finishing up the class with a lesson on critiquing your own artwork.  Pictured above is student work "Sunflowers".  I felt it was time to get outdoors and enjoy summer before it passes.  Thanks to a great group of folks for allowing me to share my passion for watercolor.
