REVIEWS
I enjoyed the class very much and Courtney was a great teacher. She was extremely helpful in explaining different techniques and the results we could achieve by using different brushes, the colors and the application of how much water we use. I feel I learned enough to want to keep taking more classes.

I really thought it was a fun and fruitful experience. Not quite getting the loose feeling of watercolor but instruction was helpful.

My daughter and I thought the event was great. The instruction was spot on. I watched allot of YouTube videos on watercolor before and am fairly proficient with my drawing skills but having feedback on watercolor techniques in person was helpful. I?m a little introverted so being in a group helped me get over people seeing me paint in public.

Title or Location: Lunch Counter/ Madrid Spain
Went to Spain for 2 weeks a year ago. While thrilled to see the work of Velasquez, Goya, Microsoft and Picasso, it was a treat to be part of everyday life there. This was a scene I photographed at an enormous Farmers Market. The color of the bread caught my eye. Madrilenos have wine with lunch. So civilized.

Title or Location: Calm Waters
This is the first painting I?ve done from my imagination, and my 5th watercolour painting. Done on a drizzly Sunday afternoon in between cooking a family dinner. I wanted to test a set of granulating paints for the first time to see what effects I could get, using only 1 colour granulating paint and Paynes Grey, it?s created quite a moody evening effect. I?m looking forward to learning more about watercolour and developing my skills.

Title or Location: Dallas, TX
Chester was the first pet I owned as an adult he was lost in flooding during a tornado in Oklahoma. I painted this with love, nostalgia, and playfulness in order to recapture the kitten I loved so dearly. He was so impetuous and silly, always looking for adventure. His spirit was, and is, a work of art.

Title or Location: Peace and Tranquility
I painted this from a photo I took on a visit to Ireland 25 years ago. The painting has been hanging on my sitting room wall or in a folder with other paintings for years this week I decided to add a solitary angler and called it Peace and Tranquility. I'll probably take it up to my brothers at Norham in the Borders and hang it on his sitting room wall.
