Portland, OR Spring 2026

This large painting is painted loosely with watercolor.  The background is painted even looser using stencils and other techniques.  The addition of scribbles made with water-soluble crayons add excitement and connections for you own original piece of art.  I expect most paintings to be about 90% completed in class.
