Watercolor Workshops Coming Soon!



Beginning Watercolor Workshop
“Watercolor Magic!”
MARCH 5 & 6
Saturday and Sunday
in Fort Collins, CO
9:00 - 4:00 both days (lunch break at noon)
This workshop is designed for beginners, so if you have never painted before you are the perfect student. And don’t worry, you don’t even need to know how to draw. All you need is the desire to learn and be ready to have a great time!  You will amaze yourself with what you'll do during this workshop.  My joy is to share with you the magic of watercolors and to take the mystery out of it.  You'll learn lots of fun techniques and be introduced to materials, color, composition, values and more.  If you’ve ever thought you would like to try painting someday, now is the time!
It’s a great refresher course, too.  Students take this class again and again because they get inspiration and learn more each time. If you've enjoyed doing artwork before but have been away from it, this class will help get you back into your art.


“Watercolor Bliss”
APRIL 12 & 13
Tuesday and Wednesday
in Fort Collins, CO
9:00 - 4:00 both days (lunch break at noon)
All levels are welcome, but some watercolor experience is helpful.  This is my MOST requested workshop as we incorporate the techniques of famed watercolor artist, Nita Engle.  It’s all a magical illusion!  Have fun doing your art as we throw paint and squirt water….. and watch the amazing results develop!   It’s the “Wet and Wild” workshop, so wear your old clothes and bring your towels! Learn new techniques and helpful hints.  I will offer individual help during the two days, as well as do many demos for you. Take your work to the next level as you make a big splash!


Sign up now to hold your spot, as class size is limited.

Masks Matters!
The Masks Project contributes a major portion of the Fort Collins Museum of Art's annual operating budget. With gratitude we thank our sponsors, and we thank the more than 200 Artists who commit not only their time and talent but the funds to create the works of art that form the foundation of the Masks Project. Without their generosity there would be no Masks Project.
