I taught my first Watercolor Portrait Workshop at the Art Center of Corpus Christi. It was well received by the small class of students who were all experienced watercolor painters and who came prepared. Each left with an excellent start on a portrait. While most chose as references photographs of indigenous women, one painted from a photo of one of her sons. I hope to offer further workshops both in Corpus Christi, as well as in the Rio Grande Valley.
