The focus of this comprehensive workshop is to go through the building blocks of creating successful FINISHED painting. Tom will first teach you the watercolor techniques, guide you from the photograph, to the preliminary sketches, then show each of the stages in creating beautiful, finished work of art. Tom has developed a series of workshops that takes the student on a step by step process to creating a finshed painting in 2- sessions. 
  Part -1 ... Students will practice the Parts of the landscape in DIFFERENT ways on separate sheets of paper. Tom will demonstrate each part and assist the students as they practice without the pressure of a finished painting. Tom will demonstrate different ways to paint each part so the student will have options to select from. This is a great way to expand your techniques and help  build your confidence. 
  Part-2 you will learn the prinicipals of focal point, value change, color, unity, design and much more as you create a Finshed Painting in a step by step manner. This process will provide you a comprehensive amount of  information. You will receive a great foundation that you can apply to all your future paintings. You can work from your own compostion or use the photo reference, preliminary sketch, that Tom will provide. The focus for this class is to learn while doing Tom  from a Master of Watercolor. Tom is listed as one of America's Top 20 Teachers you will soon see why. Each month there is a different subject so join Tom for a day of creativity. The classes are taped so you can watch in rerun where you can pause, rewind, screen shot, and fast forward your way to success !
A special part of Tom's online class is that you can contact him up to 3 weeks after the live class with questions and even send him a photo of your painting efforts and receive free advise or suggestions.

“ Visual Critique Sessions " 
There is a new class every 3 months.
You can choose any date to attend.

Tom’s unique approach to analyzing and making suggestions for a finished

painting is to ‘SHOW YOU’ what , how and where to make improvements on your paintings. In these sessions Tom will demonstrate using a color printout of your painting. You will hear suggestions on; composition, design, focal point, value, color, theme and much more. You will then see how to make the suggested changes. Viewing the before and after will be a great learning experience not only for your painting but also as you watch the same transformation on the other students paintings. These are not just casual suggestions rather live demonstrations for your artwork. As we talk about taking your paintings to the next level this class will have a profound and immediate impact on your artwork. These suggestions will be video taped so that you can watch and learn from them again.
