I’ve been offering a new class at Bellevue College for illustration students to build portfolio samples in their own styles. By the end of the 5 week class they should have 4 new portfolio pieces. We critique and discuss the works in depth to help students get lots of feedback and direction for making their work unique, consistent and viable for the illustration market. Last quarter they were assigned poster art for the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival and the results were so diverse and well executed that I want to share it here.

Watercolor Class

I recently finished a watercolor class with Sandy Haight. She’s an excellent local watercolorist and illustrator and she always pushes me to get more painterly and to “quit using your goddamned black lines!” (okay, she’s never really said that out loud, but she’s got that thought balloon above her head a lot). I painted these from some photos I took when Vicki and I visited NYC (did I mention that’s where my agentworks?) a few years ago. Thanks, Sandy!

And to think, my illustration style DEPENDS on those black lines!

Thanks, Dana! Here’s his blog …

I’m teaching!
