So, for my Tues/Wed/Thurs. studios: Please RSVP!!!! An rsvp is a commitment that you are indeed coming.  If you change plans, change the rsvp ASAP, even if you are just on …

This is an experimental meetup which provides you with painting technique demos, art history slideshows, and a space to paint and practice your craft (or start learning it from scratch). Having just finished teaching an Informal Class at UT on "Explorations in Color & Texture" some students asked me to continue the course to allow them the time and space to put into practice the techniques they had learned. So, I found a space where people can bring their ideas and questions to continue explorin …

"Culture, then, is a study of perfection..." Austin is a laid back, relaxed town. And that's fine as far as it goes. But do you sometimes want to take off the sandals, and put on the patent leather? Ditch the jeans and T-shirt, and go for suit & tie, dresses & high heels? Do you want to experience the sophisticated side of Austin? This is the group to join. We meet to explore Austin's high culture. We'll go to symphonies, art openings, museums, plays, even the ballet. Are you an opera buff? A lo …

In high school or college, you could join a choir. But now what? Many of us in our 20's and 30's miss the pleasure of gathering with friends and singing just for the fun of it. That's why we are inviting you to join us as we rediscover a lost American art form called community singing. This is not a choir and you don't even have to be a great singer. You only have to be fun to sing with. We aim to encourage all of Austin to reclaim their capacity to create great fun, community, and music through …

Watercolor is usually thought to be a very difficult and unforgiving medium – but this is not so. I have mastered a technique which allows anyone to paint with ease, and I’ve …
