With over twenty years’ experience teaching, Instructor Denis Ponsot has designed this informative class to demonstrate all the “shop tricks” in watercolor painting. Both beginning and experienced students will learn to avoid common pitfalls and advance their abilities. The focus will be on students individually, helping them realize their full watercolor potential. Explore a variety of watercolor techniques with an emphasis on developing one’s own style. Includes demonstrations of color and design, wet on wet, and dry-brush techniques.

Each week Denis will be send out three photos from his large collection of pictures. Students will then be asked to choose their favorite and send in their vote. After all the votes come in, the week's project will be announced. Students are encouraged to send their photos for possible class projects.

Ponsot, Denis

Award-winning artist, Denis Ponsot has worked in all of the various media but prefers to work in watercolor. He also teaches watercolor painting, oils, mixed media, and drawing from introductory to advanced levels to children and adults. He says,

“Teaching is my greatest inspiration. The combination of teaching and painting has helped to make my artistic experience complete. Working with students is important to me because I enjoy helping them with their painting and drawing problems. I am able to encourage them to experiment with their own ideas. I take pleasure in helping my students expand their artistic horizons beyond their expectations.”
Denis teaches at The Craft Students League and The Kids Club in Manhattan and at the Art Guild in addition to accepting commissions in watercolor, oil, and portrait painting. Denis has developed watercolor portfolios in three areas: “Landscape,” “Flowers and Still Life” and “The Figure and Portraits.”
