REVIEWS
The event location was incredible. I loved having the class overlooking the Mississippi River. greeted us warmly and came prepared with easels, extra paints, brushes, and mixing pallets. He guided us to sketch the view and helped us pick out the appropriate colors for our painting. He gave us the time to independently work on our projects with his guidance. His suggestions and encouragement were perfect. We left with a new interest and love of painting.

My sister-in-law asked me to design a bird that she could use as a tattoo. I love using bright colors in my work. She is a domestic abuse survivor, so I wanted the Bird to rise up above all of her trials with beauty and dignity.

Title or Location: Hanging On
I love pouring watercolor paints. I poured this and it practically painted itself in no time. I added mulberry leaves that were embedded in some handmade paper I had. That extraction was painfully slow and probably contributed to the naming of this piece!

Title or Location: Transparency Floral in Collierville TN
I am a beginner painter, just started June 2024 and after one month of practicing different types of techniques, I decided to try this transparency painting. I have never painted and love watching watercolor painting videos. So, I decide to invest in watercolor materials and give it a try. I was fascinated by how the layers of flower petals could be seen behind each petal and wondered if I could create such an image. Plus, I wanted to try the background wash technique as well. Each day I pai

I had a blank sheet and some inspirational pictures around me and started to build a picture. Once the flow came it was like a wave, not stopping until I wad happy, finishing it off with the bee in the flower. I love bees. Felt overjoyed at my achievement in this piece.
