On location he teaches workshops emphasizing watercolor painting and drawing. Painting on location invites some watercolor treatments and discourages others. The professor will offer instruction and critiques in effective ways to work on the spot. Since drawing is the basis for a good painting and forms the foundation for working on location, he will emphasize careful "seeing" and capturing an accurate sense of place. Painting on site suggests a direct approach, but some time will be spent on more precise choices and to encourage each artist to find ways to blend new techniques into his or her own familiar methods. Beginners are welcome to join this exciting experience.
