Jeff, you are to be not only commended for your fine art but for your atelier and the dedicated staff you have. It's not common to have multiple skills such as the business acumen, the people skills as well as your artistic skills. Bravo.
Finally!!!! I was waiting for one of the "teacher/artists" to mention on of the greatest Old Masters, Rembrandt...Thank you for paying respect to him. ;)
If you are interested we will be offering an online version of our curriculum starting this August. Send us your contact info at the watts atelier . com website if your are interested.
thinking about her shyness about asking people to take their picture is she could whip her sketch book out and start scratching the scene out and quite possibly suck the people that she wants in by curiosity. Those people she wants as subjects could ask her to draw or paint them then. The sketch book is a great ice breaker rather than the cold calculated camera but if they see her sketching something and come over to look and they say something like, "boy, wished you could draw me." Then she could say something like, "I can't paint a picture in five minutes but I just happen to have a camera here that could capture the moment." Enticing people into her world with her craft and skill is a lot more effective then just asking if she could take their picture, I think. Most people love art and love the idea of being a subject of it. They get a kick out of it. you said it Jeff people don't mind accommodating artists esp when they see your sketch book or easel
Jonathan, You are right on. We are planning on launching an online program this August, most likely the later part. We will be introducing 250 hours this first launch and the goal will be the same for the next 3-5 or more years. If you are interested please drop us an email at at our website watts atelier .com. and we will be sending out email blasts soon. Take care and hope to see you online.

Jeff could you tell the story about the cowboy drawing you have in the background ?
i just wish the Atelier wasn't so far away! I'm in Melbourne
I've never seen any of meadows drawings from when she was at the school, or currently.
