How Do You Do It?

“I Think I Can”
When I first saw the reference photo we were going to use for the most recent “Live Lesson” series at The Virtual Instructor, I was both excited and terrified. I loved the photo! It was exactly the sort of rainy-day

Write On!
I’m not a natural-born artist; I am, however, a natural-born writer. I’ve been reading and writing since I was about four years old, and to me, writing comes as naturally as breathing. For many artists, the reverse is true. Drawing and painting

An Interview with the Artist
Have you ever been interviewed? I’ve yet to have anyone ask me too much about my art — other than a few general questions — but maybe someday it will happen. Maybe someday my work will spark interest, arouse curiosity,

Mind-Mapping
I am sitting here in my studio — the office area, obviously. It’s nice to have both office and studio in a single location rather than in two different rooms as was the case before we moved. Here, from the

World Watercolor Month has now come to an end. I did not complete a watercolor each day. I didn’t even come close. At the time WWM began, I had just started working on watercolor portraits, so I knew that’s what
