Class Experience

"Oh I must go down to the sea again." -John Masefield

Transport yourself to the beautiful ocean by painting this beautiful watercolor seascape.  

In this class, students will learn:
- Color theory basics
- Basic Watercolor techniques
- Atmospheric perspective painting

After a discussion about watercolor techniques, artists will briefly practice before delving into their main project. Learners will be given time to paint a watercolor seascape employing their newfound skills. I will be demonstrating the seascape step by step, but creativity is always encouraged.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Arizona Teaching Certificate
Doctoral Degree from Chapman University School of Law
Hello! I can't wait to learn and share with you! I have a bachelors degree in history, a doctorate in law, and certifications in photography and therepeudic art . I love learning, and teaching others. 

I am a mom to 5 amazing kids, ages 17, 15, 14, 11, and 9. I've taught art classes for over 25 years and have worked with all ages. I am excited to reach out to even more students on this Outschool. I believe with Pablo Picasso that, "Every child is an artist." And my goal as an art teacher is to make sure we all have the desire and confidence to keep being creative and enjoy a life full of learning.  Because just as Picasso said, "The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up." 

I homeschool my 3 youngest children for several years, and now all 5 are home with me. I love teaching them art and history.  I love using my passion for history to teach how the events of our past have shaped our future.  

When I am not teaching, our family travels.  I love to travel to see the original art I study and teach about, and the geography that has inspired artists and influenced our history.
