So, you don't want to be an artist. Or you do want to be an artist. Or you are an artist and feel that you're missing a critical link...
Try to put aside your culturally imposed expectations for a minute.
The benefits of drawing (a short list):
Drawing develops observation, awareness, perception, creativity, inventiveness, confidence, focus, problem solving and communication skills
Drawing gives you opportunities for self realization by helping you to slow down, be present, manage self-criticism and perfectionistic tendencies, practice patience, and learn about your outer and inner worlds on a pre-verbal level.

Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway!
So many people are afraid to start drawing and watercolor because they feel that others know so much more.Self-comparison is deadly. The plain truth is that many people - even practicing artists - miss a good foundation in basic elements and principals and suffer for years as a result.
Many people — including those with shelves full of art supplies— tell themselves (and others!) that they have no artistic talent.
Forget about talent.EVERYONE (and that includes you) has the right and the ability to pick up a pencil and draw. Everyone has the right and the ability to learn about color. So often, what we think of as innate talent is actually the result of a learning process, work and practice.
With me, you start at the very beginning (a very good place to start.)
Learn the fundamentals of drawing and watercolor and, more importantly, become better acquainted with yourself. Allow me to guide you through tried and true progressive exercises, encourage your natural tendencies and help you establish the habit of practice.
Learn to draw and watercolor like YOU, not like anyone else!
Connect with your authentic, creative self. Recognize your blocks and foibles (common to so many of us) and learn how to step around those to better connect with your experience in each present moment.

“When my daughter was about seven years old, she asked me one day what I did at work. I told her I worked at the college—that my job was to teach people how to draw. She stared back at me, incredulous, and said, “You mean they forget?”—Howard IkemotoRemember How to Draw.
