Workshops

One thing I enjoy almost as much as painting is sharing my love of watercolors and sketchbook journaling with others. My classes are packed with information and inspiration, and I hope my enthusiasm and organized approach to teaching helps all of my students to move ahead on their creative journey. Check the listings below for scheduled classes and workshops. If you’d like to schedule a class in your area, I’d love to talk with you. Just drop me a note via email.

European Workshops

An art workshop tour offers a fun, safe, and easy way to see Europe. All the logistics are taken care of for you on my European sketching trips, and the itineraries include the perfect balance of time spent painting, touring, shopping, and just plain relaxing. The destinations I have chosen for my workshops are places with incredible scenic beauty, a rich cultural and historical heritage, wonderful food and wine, phenomenal shopping, and friendly people who love American visitors. I hope you’ll join me on a European sketching adventure soon!
