Examples of watercolor technique: preserving the white, wet on wet technique, wet on dry technique, controlled wash, glazing, textures, and additional techniques will be learned. You will learn how to draw and sketch your subject and then how to paint it, learning to paint light and color, shade and highlights and reflections.
Barbara welcomes all skill levels to study with her from drawing and painting for beginners to advanced students. All levels will find Barbara's color blending exercises, how to handle brush work and especially how to see and paint the true colors of nature. You will be taught a relaxed introduction to art to develop drawing and visual awareness with drawing, pencil, ink and watercolor and with composition.

Letters of Recommendation
From students of Barbara's Adult Art Classes
"As an instructor, Barbara is patient and passionate. Technically she can direct and correct without ever leaving me feeling criticized. She teaches when needed and coaches when appropriate. She laughs and helps erase or incorporate my errors so that they simply become a good part of a better painting. She has an incredible eye for proportion and dimension. Perhaps one of the greatest compliments I can pay to Barbara as an instructor is that she has genuinely helped me find my voice and did not encourage me to just copy her work or style."
"Thank you for the most enjoyable and well-taught introduction to the basics of watercolor. I quite lucked out in selecting you from the list of private art teachers in Maui! It was obvious to me right away that you have a lifetime of experience as well as the gift of teaching and the methodology you used in helping me understand the basics really made sense to me. The exercises were a great way to start and gave me confidence."
Art Venue
