This mini-workshop is 1 hour and 20 minutes long and is designed to show the fundamentals I use in all my paintings. I cover wet into wet washes, wet on dry for detail, creating rich black backgrounds, glazing, and texture techniques like dry brush, splatter, and utilizing granulating pigments.

You can watch as much as you like and work at your own pace. This is a great way to sample what my in-depth workshops are like in a condensed format.

This 11 hour workshop is designed to show you my entire painting process, as I work through a fully rendered painting. The focus will be on challenging subject matter such as creating texture, form, silver, and crystal.

The digital download includes a password to access the lessons online, materials list, reference photos, drawing example, and color breakdowns for major elements.

All are welcome, but this is an intense class and some familiarity with watercolor is recommended.
