I have been Art Director for BETTER HOMES & GARDENS magazine in Des Moines, Iowa and Art director for LEE RIDER JEANS & WESTERN WEAR in Kansas City, MO.                                                                                   

I have been teaching water color painting for 60 years and  have taught over 2,000 people to paint.                                                                 

I have an Art Studio and a Gallery with over 800 paintings. 

I love teaching art and watching people who thought they couldn’t paint, get excited as they grow with their new found knowledge.

“Value” in visual arts is how dark or light a surface is. Most accomplished artists know that value is more important than color. Training the eye to see value is key to creating believable, three-dimensional illusion when drawing or painting. In this course, students will complete assignments that improve the artist's ability to see value and use simple tools to find the value of any given object.
