This class is based on the techniques covered in my book, A Petoskey Watercolor Journal.
Appropriate for all skill levels.

August 18, 19, 20, 21 2:00-4:00 p.m.

Multi-media Drawing
This class is for those interested in experimenting with various drawing materials such as charcoal, conte crayon, ink, and pencil. There will be an emphasis on shading, technique and composition. Some drawing experience is helpful.

A PETOSKEY WATERCOLOR JOURNAL

I want to say "Thanks" to all of you who have been purchasing my book, A Petoskey Watercolor Journal.
If you would like to purchase the book, you can find it through your local bookstore anywhere, or on-line booksellers. The ISBN # is 0-472-11509-X.

If you like watercolor, sketching, strolling around Petoskey, keeping a journal, or just escaping from everyday life for awhile, I think you'll enjoy the book. If it doesn't inspire you to paint or journal, I hope it encourages you to relax!

I want to give a plug for McLean and Eakin Booksellers of Petoskey who have been so helpful every step of the way.

My workshops and classes are designed to expose students to an enjoyable, informative painting or drawing experience, and to provide an opportunity to meet other students/artists in a creative, instructional setting. . . AND IT'S FUN!

When offering classes in my studio in Petoskey, class sizes are limited - your payment will hold your place in the class.

Please contact me with any questions you have regarding the classes at ccare@triton.net or to register.
