Workshops

I offer watercolor, drawing, and sketchbook classes for adults, children and teens in addition to monthly sketchbook field trips and wine & watercolor parties throughout the Seattle area. I also offer international workshops and tours as well. Some focused on sketching, others focused on art history, food, wine, wellness and the good life. Come join me!

For more information just scroll down this page or email me directly.

Lessons are designed to help students gain confidence and experience with developing watercolor and drawing skills and encourage a sketchbook habit. Lessons are tailored to the age, skill level, and goals of each student.

I believe that through art and play adults and children alike are able to understand their world and to establish connections to different areas in their life. Through art we are better able to understand and appreciate the world around us. I am passionate about my own work as an artist and I bring that enthusiasm to my teaching.

Student testimonials

When I returned home yesterday, I told my husband that your class was the best one I have ever taken. I am very excited. It actually gave me goosebumps! ~ Susan Cook

Knowing we have to grow into the curve of learning and improving is why I keep coming back. I love your class and more importantly I love the way you teach. You are not judgmental, you care and we are fortunate to have you each week. Thank you, Char. ~ Marilyn Scanlon

September 25 Sketchbook Field Trip

September 25 Sketchbook Field Trip

$20.00

The September sketchbook field trip is Wednesday, September 25 from 1:30pm - 3:30pm.

We will sketch at the Cougar Mountain Zoo, located at 19525 SE 54th St. Issaquah, WA 98027. Established in 1972, the primary focus of Cougar Mountain Zoo is on endangered species and promoting conservation through education.

In addition to my registration fee of $20, you will have to pay the entrance fee at the zoo.

General Admission $16
Seniors (62+) $15

Parking is free.

Upon registration I will send info with more details.

Learn how to get in the habit of sketching your world. Each field trip ends with a “show & tell” session where we can all share our sketches.

All skill levels welcome.

(If you are new to sketching animals from life, as opposed to sketching from photographs, I highly recommend signing up for Laurie Kathleen Clark’s class, Drawing Animals in Motion. She is offering it on Zoom on August 25 (learn more here) and it is also available as an on-demand tutorial here.)

For suggested art supplies, click here. You don’t need all the supplies listed here, or any of them. Feel free to bring your favorites or even just a blank book and a pencil!

Once a month I schedule a sketchbook field trip. Email me to be placed on my “Sketchbook Club” list and each month I will email you the date, time and location for that month’s field trip. Registration is $20/field trip.
