Shauna’s outgoing personality and positive outlook make this workshop a joy for anyone that has an appreciation of the beauty and magic of watercolor. She delights in sharing the thought process of a painting while giving her students the individual, specific information that enables each to develop their own vision into excellent painting technique.

Beginning with a demonstration directly from a lighted still life, Shauna will discuss the attitudes and beliefs that stand in the way of creativity, then, step-by-step what is being considered and executed as she completes her painting. Next, she directs the class in a short exercise to practice loading the brush, “dropping” one color into another on dry paper for the most saturated, fluid intense effect, with the optimal amount of water and pigment that make watercolor so exciting.

The rest of the each day is spent with the class working from the same still life, showing her students how to transform their own ability to see in a way that makes accurate drawing possible and much easier than most students have experienced.

Shauna’s enthusiasm for artistic excellence and her positive, effective teaching style is informed by what she learned through the generosity of her own teachers, added to more than 30 years of demonstrating and passing along to her students what helped her the most in developing a beautiful painting, and, perhaps, a new way of seeing the world.
