TRAVEL JOURNAL Classes
I love to travel....and I would rather capture the exotic locations on my journal than take photos.
I have great techniques to quickly compose a street scene: sketch with a Micron pen and then paint it with quick washes from my travel palette... everything fits in your backpack.
Private Party -Minimum 9 students....email me if you are interested.
"Dear Dori
As one who has quick sketched my way through my travels for many years - I particularly like the idea I learned from you yesterday to combine 3 elements into the sketch. It brings in a whole new light and I can’t wait to play more. I enjoy your teaching style which gives essential good info, provides oversite and answers, and is hands-off enough that students feel free to play."

Dear Dori,
I want you to know that you had a major impact on my "artistic" skills. And for that, I am indebted forever. I never imagined that I could end up with nine watercolor paintings in nine days and that I would like each one. That is SO crazy!
I've taken a dozen watercolor workshops over the past three years, including five with the phenomenal artist Karlyn Holman, yet you taught me critical elements that had not been taught to me before, specifically, creating gorgeous colors from basic red, blue, yellow, etc. I am also grateful for your instruction on how to re-imagine my tourist photos so that they could be turned
into well-crafted paintings.
You also taught me not to be afraid to venture forth with watercolor. "After all, it's only paper." After your instruction, I feel emboldened and fearless to go forth and create!
Thank you again,
Dianne Zalewski
