MEDIUMS: Drawing | Watercolor
SPECIALTY: ✔ Critiques ✔ Drawing ✔ Technique & Demos
My mentorship group will focus on my “California Vibe Watercolor Portraiture” style, emphasizing expressive and spontaneous color application, using traditional and non-traditional creative tools and adjunct mediums. Artists can expect an innovative approach that pushes out the bounds of portraiture.
“I am afraid of most all carnival rides, acid reflux, sky diving, horseback riding, driving over ninety miles an hour, doing a back flip, holding a snake, being in the same room with a flying parakeet, having to socialize at a social, bats, trampolines, jalapeno peppers, leg cramps, pit bulls, dark alleys, losing my eyesight, and not being prepared to teach a workshop.
What I am most definitely not afraid of is to watercolor paint on the edge of disaster.“
