Coming to the Village of Harvey Station, New Brunswick
Upcoming Workshops, Fall 2017
Exploring Watercolor
And
Drawing Fundamentals with an introduction to Urban Sketching
I frequently hear, "I could never draw or paint." This is a skill that can be learned and I would like to teach you how.
These classes are for and about developing your personal creativity. The possibilities are endless. Maybe you want to make a visual journal, a vacation sketchbook, paintings or drawings of still lives, the setting sun over the lake, a portrait of your child or grand child sleeping or create a drawing or painting from an old family photograph. This class will teach you what you need to know to get started.

Student Review |
"Taking Susanne's Urban Sketch and Watercolor Class was so inspiring and educational, it was truly magical! It was a great stepping off point into drawing and painting and I highly recommend it for any skill level. She is an amazing instructor and gentle soul who welcomes all into the art/drawing/painting world with ease. If you have an opportunity to learn from her, take advantage of it, enjoy and make friends! She is a truly caring and thoughtful instructor!"

School Visits
It has been so much fun to do school visits in my own community. I have been invited several times to do book readings and talk to students about how to illustrate a book. We have done several projects on how to create a book characters and how to use our imaginations to create out if this world works of art.
Drawing Fundementals and Urban Sketching at Sunset Park
I was really excited to be asked to teach a drawing fundamentals and Urban Sketching Class. What a beautiful location to share knowledge with my peers from the Florida Keys Watercolor Society.
Urban Sketching
It has been my pleasure to volunteer to teach Urban Sketching at Outdoor Resorts in Long Key Florida for several seasons now. I am very proud of this hard working class of first time artists who are game for anything. We don't take ourselves too seriously, we encourage one another and have so much fun together.
Private Lessons
While I was learning about drawing, painting and illustration, I was excited to share my discoveries with people who wanted to learn how to draw and paint, this began my teaching career.
