As many of you might be aware, I've had the privilege of studying over the years with some of best artist/teachers in the country. This summer, I'm working hard on an instructional book (which I've mentioned in previous posts here).

Free Online Tutorials in My Email Newsletter

I've decided to use my email newsletter (on this site) to distribute short, but free tutorials whenever I get some time. This process will give you a taste of my teaching style and the type of information that I have to offer. In case  you haven't signed up for my email newsletter, you may do so on this site, but if you do - please make sure these newsletters are not going into your spam folder. When I send these out, about 1/3rd of them are never opened.

My next free newsletter will describe how color is defined by the light in the atmosphere in the landscape.

Eventually, I'll design longer complete lessons that will be downloadible for a fee - because I do need to pay the bills, but I am set on giving you the best content out there for your money. These will be complete online lessons with thorough step by step painting demonstrations to illustrate every concept I talk about.

Article in Summer 2010 Issue of Watercolor Magazine

Next time you're in a larger bookstore, take a look at page 88 of the summer Issue of Watercolor Magazine - where I teach through a step by step demonstration of Otter Point (shown below). I also explain what I learned from copying a masterpiece by William Trost Richards.

Below of some of the paintings which have been produced for articles in Watercolor Magazine. My lessons for both my email newsletter (the free ones) and the downloadable (pay) will consist of new paintings with newly written descriptions. I do occasionally teach real life workshops in person. Go to my workshops page here for more info.
