I will be teaching a two-day workshop entitled, “The Creative Journey: Exploration in Drawing and Watercolor” on August 7th and 8th, 2012, through the Red Door Art Gallery in Wahpeton, North Dakota. The course is an introductory overview of non-threatening techniques to spur the creative energy of all levels of artists. This course will take place at the Tech Building at the North Dakota State College of Science. Currently, the contract is pending, so all details are not in place, but the course will be offered through the Red Door Art Gallery. For more information, you can go to this site to sign up:

The supply list will be finalized within a couple weeks, by the middle of July. I will be offering a Watercolor Sampler Kit for about $15.00, for use in this workshop, for those who don’t want to invest in supplies without trying out the course first. It will include a folding palette with a variety of paints and a brush. Students will also be required to have a journal for sketching and writing. I suggest a journal that is at least 8.5″x 11″ in size. Other supplies will be household items, such as ice cream buckets, saran wrap, and pencils. Anyone who has their own watercolor materials is encouraged to bring what they have.
Stay tuned for more information. I hope to see you at my class! Class size is limited to 16.
