Carol Duchamp's teaching style encourages experimentation and self-discovery in a supportive environment that nourishes the intuitive power of self-expression. Her watercolors are rich in color, lushly saturated and sensual in form, and have been described as 'cosmic, flowing and full of light." She is an exhibiting artist with twenty years of experience in creating visionary art classes to exotic destinations. Class demonstration and discussion include wetting the paper, color flooding and gradation, brushwork, compositional energy, atmospheric effects, edge tinting, textual elegance and the use of watercolor crayon. Wet-into-wet techniques are emphasized. Whether moving in a realistic or abstract direction, class methods for exploring the poetic spontaneity of watercolor will be appreciated.

| Dear
Artist and Traveler, I am pleased to be returning in 2008-2009 to two of my favorite haunts - the tropical islands of Tahiti and Huahine in French Polynesia and southern France. My Studio on the Mesa in coastal Bolinas, California (just north of San Francisco along the coast) is a favored haunt as well! I am expanding the number of Saturday studio classes per year (now 7) and have added two weekend watercolor intensives and private classes to my repertoire. I am adding to my own repertoire as well and have moved into wet-into-wet acrylic painting on raw or primed canvas. This new foray into acrylic painting is as exciting and rewarding as my passion for watercolor. I am just beginning to share new acrylic techniques with my students, so stay tuned and don't hesitate to request a demo during one of my watercolor for self-expression classes.
With a passion for sharing my passion and skills in the world of watermedia painting, I am also enhancing my skill as a transformative artist and teacher. The healing power of art is no secret to most people and creativity in the workplace increases joy and productivity. I am currently a student myself in an MA in Transformative Arts program, so I have even more tips and techniques to share in addition to those I have developed for my own work and as a teacher. Please check out my new acrylic paintings on the Gallery page of this website. And enjoy! Art
