Studio Watercolor Painting with Spencer Meagher: Soft-spoken in his critical analysis of each students work, Spencer works to motivate and inspire the student, regardless of their skill level.
Every student is encouraged and given direction for improving their paintings.
Workshops are open to all levels of painter.
Those who have never painted will find this workshop particularly appealing because all painting supplies can be provided for a small additional fee.
This allows the first time painter to “test drive” the medium without purchasing supplies. All you need to bring is a good attitude and a desire to learn to paint in this wonderful medium.
The student gets the use of paints, palette, brushes, pencils, watercolor paper, backing board, mounting tape, water containers, tracing sketches, reference photos, etc. Everything is provided for those that need it.
Those that have their own supplies are encouraged to use them if they prefer. (Painting equipment is provided for student use only and is not taken home by the student.)
