Class Description
Loosen up your watercolor painting.
Everyone who paints the same scene has a different intention behind it. Learn how to marry your drawing and your painting with Marc’s fun and whimsical “line & blob” method. It is fun, fast and fresh.
Marc will have an assortment of references or you can use your own. After each class you will work on your own paintings at home, then send Marc the results by email for the following lesson slideshow critique. Everyone will benefit by the comments from the class and Marc’s constructive criticism.
The class will meet weekly, keeping up the momentum for students to experiment and complete their own art work for the next class.
Some drawing and watercolor experience is advised.

Testimonial
While this is an online zoom class it has been a wonderful experience with a most professional empathetic and spirited teacher. Marc enables all students to participate at their own level of expertise without fear or feelings of inadequacy. He builds a strong rapport with each student and helps them to increase their abilities in a safe secure and supportive environment. Not only do we learn from Marc’s wonderful demonstrations but also from the critiques that are integrated into each class. Marc’s wide ranging expertise , knowledge and wisdom that he imparts so generously is a treat for us students. I know it has enabled me to feel confident, improve and love Watercolor. Thank you seems not enough Marc. MM, 2024
