Schedule Updates for Outdoor Online Workshops

Until it is practical to meet in groups, our workshops will be live online through Zoom
This summer I am sharing some of my favorite outdoor painting spots through a series of 5 watercolor workshops. Check here for updates on Location and start times for our live online interactive summer sessions.

Registered students will receive a private video of the scene the evening before the workshop. This will help you get familiar with some of the subjects available, ambient sounds, etc.

I am flexible on the start time for classes. Initially I plan am classes from 9:30-12:30   and  pm classes from 2:30-5:30. This takes advantage of the light conditions in summer. Please let me know your preference.

I don’t expect especially large attendance, so we can check in the day before and see how it goes with the weather and the group. It really will be like a small group of friends planning a pai9nt outing for the day.

Tiny Spring Flowers

I wanted to sketch these sweet little grape hyacinths before they finished blooming. It was just too cold to stay outside, so I picked a few and drew them at the sink in the studio where I washed them off.

Come to think of it, the squirrels in the tree nearby were shaking their heads and "tsk tsking" as I provided a bad example about digging up bulbs. No wonder they ravaged my crocus with impunity!

Watercolor Greys from the Altoids Mini Palette

After demonstrating how to mix warm, cool and neutral greys from a limited palette, I used them for this little watercolor post card. Periscope.tv/michelecoopart
