Watercolor Workshops
John Partridge's watercolor workshop is unlike any painting class you have ever taken. A California Central Coast Watercolor Artist, John , has come up with a unique way of teaching the fundamentals and special tricks of watercolor. He has been painting for over fifteen years and has attended many workshops by other artists. At several of these he was befuddled by the variety & mix of subject matter & skill level of the student artists. . The level of artists ranged from beginners to professionals. Some of the artists could draw while others spent half the day trying to create a drawing worthy of painting. Then, after the drawing was done, the day was nearly over and there was no time left for the student to complete the painting. Although there may have exceptions to this , it was always the beginners that were left behind, and for them little information was learned about watercolor painting techniques.
To provide a solution , John has invented a way to furnish each student a pre-drawn sketch on watercolor paper. Using this new technique he has perfected his teaching talents for the past three years doing one and two-day workshops. Aware of student's time and talents, he now offers a class that assures each student a completion of a large half sheet painting, each day. The subject of the artwork varies from the popular California Missions to Cambria Cottages. There are over twenty different subjects offered. In a four-day workshop there is a different painting offered each day. John begins with a short lecture and proceeds to selecting the color choices and summary of the step by step procedure .
Mr. Partridge's student success is that they follow in a step by step procedure that follows the instructors lead. Each student completes a painting in 4-6 hours while learning all the way. During the class John supports students with individual assistance .
