Sierra did a wonderful job teaching. She is personable and seems comfortable with teaching. I've done watercolors for years but have been in a creative rut. This class taught me a major key to effectively using watercolors and I am so happy I decided to sign up.

Title or Location: Miss Wary
I was taking a portrait drawing class back in 2019 with Frank Zamora at SCC. As somewhat of a perfectionist, I found myself struggling to let myself free in my work. I know what captivated me also captivated others...the lips, jaw lines, the nose, ears and the eyes can all look different and "change", based on angle and lighting.So this was the first time I decided to give up on proportions, let go, and just draw what I felt to me was weirdly beautiful. No one face is perfectly proportional,

Title or Location: Silvanus , God of Wild Nature.
Quite the beginner, I'm drawn to the magical aspects of nature. Semi abstract, wet on wet watercolour is my favourite , which allows me to paint wild nature, but put my own magical slant on it! This piece was inspired by a tutorial by Joanne Boon Thomas.

Title or Location: iCandy
iCandy is my take on our ever increasing use of smart phones as a source of distraction. It is also a spoof of the marketing of these devices, and the marketing world as a whole, using design asthetics from candy and toy products and advertisements from my childhood in the 80's, particularly the ones emblazoned on my subconscious that played repeatedly during Saturday morning cartoons.

These two little mice bring me pure joy everytime I look at them. It takes me back to my childhood of enchanted movies of woodland animals, imagination and play. I had to paint them, the whole process was pure joy, hence the title. Referance photo is by Belinda Fewings and can be found on Unsplash.
