For Father’s Day today I have dug up the watercolor lesson I recorded with my father, Michael Spakowsky, a few years back. Some of you may remember it…

He came to visit me in Spokane, WA. We did some singing on the front porch and I talked him into letting me record him giving an art lesson.

You will not be able to find out much about him online. He lives on Vashon Island in Washington. He is well known in the Northwest but he doesn’t do much to promote himself. He mostly sells his paintings by word of mouth directly from his small house tucked back in the woods where he works and lives.

I hope to be able to offer some of his work from my new studio/gallery that I am working on…perhaps then I could introduce his art to folks online.

Please enjoy these videos. Happy Father’s Day!

When I recorded the How I Paint A Woman’s Face videos I did my best to share all the info I could think of. It was my first attempt at teaching what I do when it comes to these faces I paint.

Since then, I have continued to paint daily continuously improving my skills and developing new techniques.  I have also learned a bit by watching myself on video and plan on doing a new lesson in 2010. Therefore, I am going remove the faces lesson at the end of December.

Students have 30 days to view them (even if you sign up the last day of Dec) and have my permission to save the videos to their computer (for personal use only) by using Real Player.

So, if you have been thinking about signing up, now would be a good time to do so. I am not sure when my next faces lesson will begin and these videos are packed full of instruction.

This is the little sweetie I make during the demonstration.

And once you learn the technique, you can really make it your own like these folks did…
