Plein Air Sketching with Friends

Plein Air Sketching with Friends

I love sketching with friends on location. It’s always so much fun to see what everyone chooses to sketch, what materials they use, and how they lay out their pages. We encourage and inspire each other, and it’s just plain fun sharing something I enjoy with people that I love and admire. During my recent […]

Tropical harvest

Tropical harvest

When I stayed with my friend Karen in southern California for a few days earlier this month, I was amazed that we could go out into her yard and pick all sorts of tropical fruit right off the trees that grew on the slope below her house. Every morning I had fresh grapefruit for breakfast […]

Earlier this month I taught a two-day plein air sketching class called “Sketch Your World” in San Clemente, CA, and on the second day we visited Casa Romantica Cultural Center and Gardens. The Casa was closed for the day, but they allowed our group to come and paint, so we had the place all to […]

My how time flies! It’s been almost a month since I returned from gallivanting around Sicily and England, and I’ve been longing to share some pictures with you and work on finishing up my travel journal, but I’ve had to put all that on hold while I put the finishing touches on the two classes […]

Arrivederci and Cheerio!

Arrivederci and Cheerio!

Tomorrow’s the big day! I’ll be flying off to Sicily to teach a week-long workshop near Marsala. On Saturday I’ll be meeting my students in Palermo and heading off to our home for the week at Villa Salinara, an historic villa built in the 18th century.

The Evolution of a Time-Lapse Sketch

The Evolution of a Time-Lapse Sketch

I’ve been experimenting a little this summer with using toned paper, in preparation for a new class I’ll be teaching in San Clemente, CA, in November, and Keeton’s Art Supply in Bradenton, FL, in February 2019.
