Enjoy an exciting three days learning the secrets of watercolor painting with an "old pro."  Bud has a
"down to earth" approach and will share with you his years of experience.  Your watercolors will become
more spontaneous, interpretive and a lot more fun to do!  His demonstrations and talks each day will take
you through all the steps necessary to turn a simple black and white sketch into a finished painting worthy
of any wall.  The first day, Bud will do a demo and then show you how to do a value study that will be an
indispensable road map for your painting. The next two days are all painting, with Bud doing mini-demos to
help solve any of your artistic problems.  There will be lots of individual attention for each artist. Bring your
own reference photos. If you don't have any, or want to try something new, Bud will have plenty on hand.  
You are encouraged to bring samples of your work for individual review.
