Color Your World with Watercolor online course, Zoom platform

Only $20 per hour, class length is usually 2 hours, take as few or as many classes as you would like.

CLASS DESCRIPTION: Transparent watercolor painting is often regarded as the most difficult artist's medium to use. This need not be so, as long as the artist starts with the very basics and is willing to let the often, unpredictable nature of the medium take its course. The "controlled accidents" are what make watercolor so fun to work with.

Along with the effective use of materials, this class teaches the very foundation of watercolor painting--the wash, and explores glazing, creating textures, and the use of special effects unique to the watercolor medium. Along the way we will also focus on drawing for the painting process, and a simple, effective method to mix color.

Although this class is very intensive, it is typically for the beginner to intermediate artist.

Note that this class is “traditional watercolor”, that is, watercolor on watercolor paper, there will only be a light introduction into alternatives to traditional watercolor materials handling.

You can get more information on the Bias Color Mixing technique and tools for use, and purchase art supplies. I get a few points for this referral that I can use to help my future in teaching this technique.

Foolproof Color-Mixing - online sessions, Zoom platform

$80 for 4 hour session, for 1-3 students

$135 for 6-7 hour session, for 1-3 students

CLASS DESCRIPTION: Calling all artists! This session will open your eyes to a foolproof method for mixing artists color, based on what actually happens when paint is mixed, rather than relying on elusive color theories. Free your color-mixing from guesswork and wasted paint. At the end of the session you will be able to mix the exact color you want, every time. This is the breakthrough Bias Color Wheel system. The Bias Color Wheel system is for beginners and professionals alike, for any pigmented media (watercolors, oils, acrylics, printer's inks, alkyds, gouache, etc.), as well as for any field of endeavor involving the usage of color (artists, designers, craft workers, decorators, etc).

We can work together online through Zoom, doing several 40 minute sessions for one to three days, at your own pace. Or for $20/hour we go until you get the basics of the teachings down so you can mix color on your own without any problems.

End Your Color-Mixing Frustrations or, How to Mix the Color You Really Want - Every Time

Workshop with Felipe Echevarria

This is the same as the above class, but it’s live, in person. It can be in your studio/home or my studio in Loveland, Colorado.

Since around 1995 Felipe has liberated hundreds of people from their color-mixing struggles. The Color Bias Wheel is the easiest and most effective color-mixing system for artists available today. It is based on what actually happens inside the paint mix, not in elusive theories. By the end of the workshop you will be able to mix the color you really want, every time, without guessing or wasted paint.

This can be run as a 1 or 2 hour slideshow lecture only, or a complete workshop spanning 1 or 2 days.

private lessons with Felipe Echevarria

We can work over the internet through Zoom; with your camera, cell phone, tablet, desktop, etc, or we can work in my studio, or at your studio/home.

I teach almost all mediums (oil, acrylic, watercolor, drawing, pen & ink, collage, etc) except encaustic and pastel. Rates vary between $20 per hour depending on the medium, and the specific class or medium taught. If you want to get 2 or more students in the same class, the rate can be negotiated to make a lower cost per person.

In addition I also teach color-mixing workshops and slideshow lectures (see further above).
