DEB WARD ART: OUT OF MY COMFORT ZONE

OUT OF MY COMFORT ZONE - 4

Here are the finished paintings all together. I don’t have a large enough wall space to hang them properly, so placing them on the easels together will just have to do!

Since I’ve never done a triptych before, nor worked with as large a canvas before, nor played with various acrylic mediums before, this painting sent me out of my comfort zone, for sure! Way out – perhaps into the Twilight Zone!

But now that I’ve completed the paintings, I’ve got more confidence and will definitely play with ideas in the future – what have I got to lose!

By the way, Nancy loved the paintings!

TESTIMONIALS FROM STUDENTS (in their own words!)

"Deb, just wanted to thank you for the weekend workshop again. You are a good teacher! You lay out the info, you go over it, you make things clear and you answer questions that come up. Plus you make good suggestions along the way so the student gets a better painting."
Rhonda Carpenter

"Deb Ward has done a wonderful job of teaching me how to watercolor. I hadn’t done anything in art since high school many years ago. Because of her tutelage I have learned many different ways to paint. We have used different papers, wet on wet, dry on wet, pouring and many more techniques. She is a great teacher and has become a valued friend. I have entered a few art competitions and have received 2 awards. I attribute this to Deb and her way of making art fun and interesting." Teri Glaser

"Deb Ward – is a skilled teacher who I had pleasure to learn basics of watercolors from. She started from color theory, which greatly helped me to understand color relationship, and worked into more advanced and fun to use techniques such as pouring, scrubbing and others.Her kind and caring personality makes learning the art of watercolors even more interesting and enjoyable!"

I took Deb's watercolor class at her home over the course of a few months. I, too, don't draw, but she assured me that I could paint. After some hesitation, I signed up. There are many pluses about the class, some of which are: you don't have to draw to paint(!), I painted actual pictures, that I was impressed with - I couldn't believe that I actually did them! It couldn't have happened without Deb's knowledge, instruction, patience, and her building my confidence so I felt equipped to do it . She is a pleasure to learn from, and I highly recommend her watercolor classes.

I thoroughly enjoy taking my granddaughter to Deb Ward’s classes at DHAC, where we both get to learn together. Deb chooses appealing subjects that are adaptable from the beginner to the experienced. Her demos are simple and clear as she walks (or paints) us through each step of the way. She introduces easy methods to achieve fun effects.As a watercolor teacher myself, I appreciate how challenging it is give individual help, but at the same time keep the class progressing. These classes have the extra handicap of teaching so many different ages and experience levels. Deb handles the balancing act well, and her students leave feeling successful. Great job, Deb!
