Hi, I’m Jim.

I'm passionate about watercolors! I have been a watercolor artist and teacher for over 30 years. My students have been as young as elementary age to over 90! I have been a featured artist in several exhibitions and I have won several awards including the 1st place win at the Strathmore International Card Competition. But more importantly, I have taught over 2000 students, taken students on plein air workshops across the United States and in Europe and watched my students love learning to painting.

I teach classes in person in my Mansfield, TX studio every week. Being in the studio inspiring my students is my favorite thing to do.

I teach step by step. With the gift of technology and bringing my classes to an online platform, you'll be able to pause me, go back, rewatch and paint a painting as many times as you like in the comfort of your own home or wherever you like to paint. 

My goal as an artist and a teacher is to equip you to paint - and not just what I paint, but to paint whatever YOU would like to, whether it is something you see or it's something you envision. I will teach you all the art theory and techniques you need to know to become a watercolor artist yourself. It's my greatest passion and privilege to pass on to you what I've learned and love so much - watercolor painting.

I truly believe that watercolor is amazing and that I can teach anyone to paint.
