"To translate color of the tropics , the power of the ocean, the bark of a piece of bleached driftwood, the soft light from a sunrise, or the drama of an emotion,these are the things painting can convey like no photograph can." -Gordon Meggison

"A Phoenix Rising"
"I hope everyone has made it through this difficult time,
with a good healthy creative attitude intact. I have done a lot of new
paintings that I am excited to share. Recent events have proved to be a test
for us all, but like the phoenix we are rising again! Many of us have realigned
our priorities and realized it's time to get on with the soul satisfying activities
that nurture us forever.
Take advantage of this rare opportunity to
be at a class at the original historic location
of Reddi Arts before it's transition in the
summer to it's new location
I will personally assist you through
a set of technical acrylic principles that
will energize and give your paintings
spark and sizzle no matter your style"

"Our
priorities have been reset by recent events, our desires have been pent
up, we are ready to travel and express ourselves! I can help you keep
the interest in watercolor alive. Last spring we had a very productive
and fun time working out of doors. Now once more I am excited to coax
you out of your caves to socialize, paint with friends and if weather
permits we can consider a couple of outdoor sessions. We will begin this
new set of 6 classes starting at Reddi Arts in a new bright new space.
Then if weather permits we can try one or two outdoor excursions nearby
in San Marco or Friendship Park!"
-Gordon Meggison
A class for Intermediate
and Newcomers alike!
Watercolors is a medium
of adventure and flexibility. It is an ideal
choice if you want freedom to travel and
paint! Past adventures come right back
to life when I look at watercolors from my
travels in Europe. It is also great at home
as a contemplative practice or purely for
fun! We will achieve results and skills
you can put to use immediately!
