Disclaimer:
Reservation made less than 24 hours before the class will not be accepted. A master class is subject to cancellation if the registration of the class less than 5. A class cancellation notice will send via email at least 24 hours before the class starts.

Class takers are required to bring their own art materials. The champion will only provide easels and trays. 
Class required art materials
1. Paper: Artists should bring their favorite paper and size. I’d recommend starting with at least 18x24 as we want to
start painting big and bold. Best brands are Arches and Fabriano - cold press 140 or 300lb. Rough watercolor paper
will add texture to your washes and hot press paper, with its very slick surface, tends to make colors appear brighter,
so they will also be easier to lift off. Cold press paper is somewhat in between rough and hot press. Again, the basic
Strathmore 18x24 pad should be OK. I personally prefer cold press.

2. Board: It’s also good have the same or slightly larger size board (masonite) to attach your paper with masking tape.
We’ll work on the tables, so it may not be necessary, but if working on an easel, you need a sturdier backing.

3. Paint: Any brand you like would be OK as long as you have the basic set of colors. I prefer tubes, because you can get
as much paint as you want for larger areas. Turner Watercolor set from Jerry’s Artarama is excellent.

4. Masking fluid – In order to preserve our whites on the paper, sometime we use masking fluid

5. Palette: make sure you have a flat area to mix your colors - Guerrilla Painter Backpacker Watercolor Palettes
available at Jerry’s is pretty good:

6. Brushes: You need at least 3 – all of them soft with a point - large, medium and small for details. You can add a bigger
flat one if you’d like, but basically you can do everything with the three round and pointy.

7. Rag: Lastly, we need a rag – any cotton fabric should be good. Paper towel could work too, but is not as absorbent as
a cloth.

8. Container for Water

​Statement

In my work I merge abstract and realistic elements together to create mood, movement and an impression of the world around and within us. My brush strokes are moving, pushing, emerging and overwhelming, but never still and quiet. In my recent work I paint alla prima style adding spontaneity, boldness and elegance all at once. I paint loosely telling magical stories and evoking complex emotions.​
