I don't know of a more gifted artist who can truly help novices learn the relaxed art of loose sketching, perfect for sketching places visited or scenes glimpsed.

Carol is one of the best color instructors, showing how colors can harmonize together or create great contrast, recede into a background or appear to advance in space. Carol's forte' is Botanical Drawing (SA 7) which she offers for 8 weeks on Thursdays, 2 – 5. Come learn from her how to portray the characteristics of plants through observation and drawing exercises. All of Carol's classes are suitable for any level.
