Drew is a San Diego artist and recently retired teacher of popular art classes at local adult education and community college programs.

He has been called upon to demonstrate his art methods, conduct workshops and serve as juror throughout the county. Drew is a Signature Member of San Diego Watercolor Society and has served as watermedia faculty at several national conventions and expos.

 

Nominated Outstanding Instructor by his students and staff, Drew won the first award given for that achievement in 2011. Now his students have gone on to win the award as well.

As a lifetime learner, Drew has accelerated his own skills and has dedicated himself to helping others find pleasure, skill and confidence in all art mediums.

​

For this workshop, Drew will instruct students in how to convert a black and white photo of an animal into a rich watercolor painting. 

By using a Stabilo Aquarellable black pencil, students will first trace their sketch onto dry watercolor paper. Then, with adding water to the soluble pencil drawing, your sketch becomes a fluid painting. Drew will guide students to adding the details and finishing touches.
