Catherine Stock, an illustrator of children's books and portraitist, has been giving watercolor workshops in southwest France since the summer of 2000. She writes, "I used to be an art teacher and I find great satisfaction and joy helping to find and draw out the dormant talent of my students."

Drawing is simple but very expressive. When you draw, you feel rooted and happy, and that's a lovely place to be, and all you need to make lovely art is a pencil, paper, and a perch.

Escape to the Lincoln National Forest during the heat of the summer for an artistic experience you won't soon forget. A week or two nestled in the cool, peaceful mountain forests of Southern New Mexico will spark your creativity and artistic talent.

In 1996 I started researching and writing a watercolor book called "Watercolor: Tools of the Trade" that concentrated on factual information about watercolor materials, tools, technique, and history. But the tone of art publishers at the time was geared towards fluff titles like Awash with Light: Amazing techniques for the Nocturnal artist or Watercolor: Channel your way to beautiful 18th century paintings. I continued working as a house-husband/freelance artist/fine artist/musician and decided that the book would work well as an internet site. In 1999, to my amazement, the domain www.watercolorpainting.com was available. (Who dropped the ball on THAT one?) Fate had intervened and the obsession began.
