This course will encompass watercolor painting from the basics to advanced techniques. As well as avoiding pitfalls & disasters in what can be a very challenging medium. We will use simple easy to follow steps and demonstrations, focusing on each student’s personal goals and creativity; either as a beginner or as a seasoned veteran of the craft. Mastering these techniques students will be able to create brilliant vibrant & exciting compositions. I welcome students to also push the boundaries of their “comfort zone” & take some chances during the course of this Wonderful World of Watercolor!

After many years in advertising related fields, Neil returned to Fine Art. His focus has been on painting and sculpture, primarily the traditional and academic approaches to these subjects. Neil had an early influence of comic book artist Irv Novick who was a friend and neighbor. His 4 years at Cooper Union also served Neil well in all these mediums.
