CLASS DESCRIPTION:
The first 4-weeks of class is packed with hands-on demonstrations and instruction on “how to” do various techniques, learning how to use watercolor qualities to create beautify paintings. Following each class, students will take home a piece of art to be proud of.
The last two weeks is when the student puts all this information together to make paintings incorporating all the techniques learned. Sharon will help with any questions and critique. At the end of the 6-weeks, students will have enough information and practice to paint for a long time until they are ready to move onto intermediate and/or advanced classes. A refreshment break is scheduled after the first hour of class. You will always go home with something you are proud of and is beautiful!

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR:
After graduating high school in Rockford, Illinois, where I was born and grew up, I attended Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, Illinois, graduating with a BS in Elementary Education and Special Education. I have taught in the northwest suburbs of Chicago and was a Walworth County Literacy Volunteer in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin.
Ever since I was a young girl I have loved art and animals. My life long love of drawing, painting and animals has been the inspiration for my art. For painting I choose a medium based on what I think the subject would look best in; mostly watercolor, oils or pastels.
For subjects I draw on my life experiences with family, city and country life, animals of all kinds and my own fox hunting experiences. Over the years I have studied with many teachers and artists in watercolor and oil such as Ingred Albrecht, Gale Bennet Art Study, Giverny, France, Ovanes Berbarian, Rose Edin, Nita Engle, Estelle Fedelle, Irving Shapiro, Frank Webb, and Alice White.
I have always loved beautiful times, objects and ideas and try to capture these impressions in my paintings. My paintings are represented in corporate and private collections.
