What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Review the basics. Ensure understanding of the flow of water to and from the paper. Discuss color mixing, washes, working light to dark. Then discuss composition and perspective as it applies to the subject.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a professional surveyor and civil engineer who has combined art with engineering knowledge of landscapes, topography, structures. I am an amateur artist. I have read volumes about watercolor and painting. I am self taught but I have taken many classes.

How did you get started teaching?

Describe a recent event you are fond of.
Painting Gavins Point Dam or the Niobrara RR Bridge in perspective: in both cases I set up my easel on site to gather key points using a perspective viewfinder I had devised. I use Aquabord instead of paper. I have painted watercolor on site and in the studio.
