Barbara has taught watercolor for 20 years. You may see her work locally at Alpine Arts or at her studio in the Poudre River Arts Center.
“My goal as an instructor is to discover each individual’s natural direction, and work individually with them to leap a few hurdles in their own search for creative development. Working with the person then becomes a co-creative project.”
Please pre-register as the class is limited to 6 students.
