Watercolor Classes 2020

Video Lessons Through YouTube

Edit: If you are new to my posts you might want to check out the side bar for more information. You will find the equipment list for the things I use in class and on my videos there is also some of my favorite links in Lerri's Links.

You will also find the archives that have years of posts of my written instructions to projects we have done in class if you are still in need of something to do and you will find the links to my YouTube channel, the page for the reference photos for the videos and my email at the bottom of this post.

Also, looks like You Tube has redesigned the way the page looks and that band of videos at the top only revels 12 posts even if there are more. If you look at above the thumbnails you will see "Home Videos etc..." and if you click on the Videos you will see all of my posts. 

Stay Safe. - L

We are all painfully aware of the circumstances we all find ourselves in during this unprecedented time in our history. I know how hard it is to stay home and not get together with family and friends but it is what we need to do to keep ourselves, our families, friends, neighbors and people in general, safe, the problem is we need something to do while we are sheltering at home so we don't pull our hair out.

Many of my students contacted me asking, sometimes desperately, when we were to have classes again, my answer is: I don't know. Maybe there will be summer classes, it really depends on this virus and if we can turn the corner, the City of Torrance will let me know.

Videos were something I was thinking of doing though this is not quite the way I had planned to do them. I just wanted to do some basic techniques or studies, nothing real elaborate so I could figure out how to do them, then Covid19 reared its ugly head and my plans changed.

I have been working on lessons for all 3 mediums of my classes (watercolor, acrylic and pastel) and to say there has been a steep learning curve would be an understatement but it has kept me busy and kept my mind focused on something besides a World in a panic. I hope that you find them interesting or, at least distracting, even if they are a bit "rough" right now, I am finding my way and doing it all myself, I have no one else to blame. I have two up now, the last 2 for this project coming soon. Like I said it has been a steep learning curve but I think I am figuring it out now so the next ones will get easier.

Since there will be a videos I won't be posting a written blog until classes start up again but there is a pause and rewind button if you need them.

So for now, stay home, stay safe, call your neighbors and friends and keep painting, I hope to see you in class again real soon.
