Sketchbook Journeys: Spain
Spain was wonderful! I loved every moment and came home with a journal filled with memories. Travel changes me. Living in a different country, eating the food, walking the streets, meeting the people, learning about the history of that place – it alters my perception of the world and makes me realize how rich and […]
Casa Romantica Gridded Sketch
Earlier this month I taught a two-day plein air sketching class called “Sketch Your World” in San Clemente, CA, and on the second day we visited Casa Romantica Cultural Center and Gardens. The Casa was closed for the day, but they allowed our group to come and paint, so we had the place all to […]
Step-by-Step Sketch – Mission San Juan Capistrano
My how time flies! It’s been almost a month since I returned from gallivanting around Sicily and England, and I’ve been longing to share some pictures with you and work on finishing up my travel journal, but I’ve had to put all that on hold while I put the finishing touches on the two classes […]
Arrivederci and Cheerio!
Tomorrow’s the big day! I’ll be flying off to Sicily to teach a week-long workshop near Marsala. On Saturday I’ll be meeting my students in Palermo and heading off to our home for the week at Villa Salinara, an historic villa built in the 18th century. After the Sicily workshop, I’ll catch a flight to […]
Summerhill Sketching: What Really Goes on at the House on the Hill?
Would you like to see what it’s like to take a painting class at Summerhill? I snapped some photos during the “Sketching at Summerhill” workshop I taught yesterday to give you an idea of why so many people make the trip out to my house in Prosperity, Pennsylvania, just to paint for a few hours. […]
Sketches from Maine!
Maine was WONDERFUL! The lupines were in bloom, the weather was close to perfect, Primrose Cottage was as cute as ever, and the students who joined me for the painting retreats were an absolute joy to be with. Getting to spend two weeks there this year was the icing on the cake. I fell in […]
Notes from Boone
Last week was a whirlwind of travel and teaching, but I’m back home now and ready to share with you some of the fun that I had teaching a five-day “Sketchbook Journaling Comes to Life” workshop at Cheap Joe’s Art Stuff in Boone, North Carolina. Spring was in full swing as we traveled from western […]
Winter Workshop Getaway
The 2018 workshop season is off to a great start! I just got home from Florida where I taught watercolor and sketchbook journaling classes in both Sarasota and Bradenton, plus had some downtime with my friend, Judy. I made a little video about the trip to show you… The weather was beautiful, and I’ll have […]
2018 Workshop Schedule – Come and Join the Fun!
2017 has been a memorable year for me, with travels all over the country to teach, and three trips to Europe! It was a little bit crazy, but I wouldn’t trade those experiences for anything. It was wonderful! And 2018 promises to be another exciting year. Take a look at what I have planned in […]
