"Kim
taught simple ways to improve your painting skills, correct drawing was
emphasized, along with clean color, two methods were taught, wet and
dry...wet was fun, and the dry method was more detailed. Kim is easy to
work with and spent time with each student. I will definitely attend the
workshop next year."

"I
have never painted portraits and frankly was quite tentative. Kim
immediately put us at ease and continued to expand our horizons and
color palette. She is supportive and fun, while she encourages and
teaches about a subject that could be overwhelming. Thanks Kim."

Methods of Understanding
Color |
April 19, 2012
Granite Reef
Senior Center
Scottsdale, AZ |
Many watercolor artists experience difficulty in
determining the number and kinds of colors that create a dynamic
painting. In this class you can achieve instant success without
color confusion. Avoid the "muddies" and the "blahs" that overwork
your paper and give your painting a "fragmented" or lackluster
appearance. By using these methods, create wild and harmonious
color combinations that flow effortlessly and you'll remember easily.
Several 'hands on' exercises are incorporated into this workshop for
each student to enjoy a finished painting. It's color magic! Experience Level:
