Class Outline

"THE WORKSHOP will cover watercolor techniques and subjects from oceanscapes, landscapes, street scenes, figures

in the landscape, boats and bridges, plus more. It is designed to be informative and comprehensive with class

demonstrations morning and afternoon on the topic raised. Class will be arranged in a relaxed manner, for, to produce

good work, one has to feel comfortable in their special environment. Communication is encouraged; questions answered

and constructive critiques will be given." "It is envisaged that at the end of the week the class will have completed a number

of pieces that are special to them. Class members will learn to improve at their own individual level. Improvement is

measured by what one has gained from previous attempts that didn't quite work out, that is, attention will be given to

eradicate previous problem areas, and win through with knowledge and practice." The workshop will take place on location

amid the historical downtown, Oregon coast and inner harbors.
