The sky is the limit when it comes to painting animals! Few subjects offer the variety and dynamics that are possible with a lovely beast and the environment in which they are found. If you want to paint an otter, you will likely learn how to paint the appearance of flowing water and wet fur. If you want to paint a bird in the sky, you will also learn how to paint clouds and the gesture of flight. It’s a perfect blend of personality and the elements coming together. In this two-session workshop, Jason will lead you through the completion of two animal paintings - please see below for references supplied by the artist. Before starting each painting on a separate study sheet, we will practice the unique gesture drawing, brush techniques, and color mixes appropriate to capture the most character of each. Then we will apply our preparations to make the final beautiful painting. And with the applications learned here, there’s no doubt you can go and continue to paint what more you love!

This open and interactive course will spotlight the instructor’s palette, work surface, and reference in real time, so you can directly see exactly how he mixes and applies paint. The process will be step by step based with short demos so you can take time to follow along and ask questions all the way to the finished painting.

Links to a video recording of each session will be provided, should you miss a class or want to review a session. Links remain available for 120 days.

A final written critique is offered through Padlet following the completion of the workshop.

Looking forward to seeing you there!

This class is designed for all skill levels – whether you're a beginner or an experienced artist, a painter, or a doodler. Richard, an experienced watercolor painter, will guide you through his process, which applies seamlessly to various mediums like pen and ink, watercolor, gouache, markers, graphite, tablets, or a simple ballpoint pen.

Richard, with his watercolor expertise, has had his work showcased in juried shows, including the recent 47th annual International Watermedia Exhibition at WAS-H. Discover how his passion for urban sketching evolved from a quest to "see better" and improve his painting skills. Richard’s Sketching Galveston series was recently showcased in the January 2024 show at the Galveston Art League.  His sketchbook is now a constant companion on vacations, business trips, and local outings, showcasing the beauty of people and places.

This class is not a “how-to” class. We will discuss concepts, artistic principles that will help each artist regardless of their style and subject, and do demos that are spontaneous, responding to student problems and needs. Ideally, we become a consistent group, whose input is varied and meaningful. The idea is that you will focus on a subject and approach to carry your ideas forward in a connected way. Work outside class is essential.
