I teach several classes each term at Clark College in their Community Education Department. These classes are open to the public, not just college students, and are mostly beginner level courses. Most of my classes are 8-week courses with a few one and two day workshops.
Starting in January, I am teaching the following classes:
Acrylic Painting for All
Exploring Art with Watercolor Pencils
So You Think You Can't Draw
Watercolor for Beginners
Watercolor & Ink Cards: Spring Workshop
Fun with Watercolor Tools: Workshop
