This page is dedicated to the class I will be teaching at the Portrait Society of America Conference in Washington DC, May 8th - May 11th 2025. The session is titled, Modern Watercolor Techniques on Innovative Surfaces. We will be focusing on technique and the class will be large… so it will be easiest to work from photo reference during our time together. We will not be painting on paper, only on Aquabord.
On this page you will find images of the supplies you will need for the breakout session that will be held on Friday, May 9th from 1:30-4:00pm. The working photo is here for you to dowload, print, and save to your device so that you will be able to have good reference for our session. Please message me with any questions. I look forward to seeing you at the PSoA Conference!
