Its about capturing not only the design and accurate representation of a building, but to have the shots be aesthetically pleasing to the viewer's eye. An architectural photographer makes pictures, not takes pictures. In this session, we will be covering how to better understand Architecture photography and we'll be looking at ways to take some impressive shots and the camera settings to use.

The instructor always has specific assignments that make the session productive and eliminate "painters block." I appreciate the instructor's encouragement and attention to newcomers and novices, but still giving suggestions to more experienced folks. The instructor balances technical suggestions with a light, playful approach that creates inclusion and is inspiring.

The lovely Winnie has been a frequent model. 10 x 14 on Arches paper, with Daniel Smith, Schminke, Senelier and other pigments and Escoda and princeton brushes. I do these on commission using photos which I sometimes take if the customer's photos are too blurry. They make great gifts, and I make holiday tree ornaments with the watercolor portraits inside.

The Bald Eagle has been a national emblem of the United States since 1782. These majestic birds of prey embody strength, resilience, and an untamed spirit. My painting is not just about the bird itself, but also about what it represents universally, liberty, power and the untamed beauty of nature. I thank Louise De Masi for inspiring this piece.
