April 13 – Class meets at Frank Bette Center, 1601 Paru St., Alameda
April 14 & 15 – Outdoor locations in Alameda and Oakland

Class Description: Learn quick sketching and watercolor painting techniques to enable you to record your memories on your next trip. Traveling with a sketchbook allows you to draw and paint where it isn't possible to take photos and to see the world in new, creative ways. Discover how to economically pack essential supplies, work outdoors to capture the essence of people, architecture, water, trees and landscapes with spontaneous lines and color. Practice techniques in class and outdoor locations and receive expert coaching. Basic drawing skills recommended.

About the Instructor: David lives in the Bay Area and is a native Californian, which is reflected in the sun-dappled streets and waterfront imagery that dominate his work. Although largely self-taught as a watercolor painter, he credits his 30 years as a practicing architect with having given him the drawing skills and strong sense of perspective that have elevated his artwork to a professional level. He has earned signature membership in the National Watercolor Society (NWS) and the California Watercolor Association (CWA). Participating in many local and regional plein air events, David has produced award winning paintings while promoting the art form about which he’s so impassioned.
