Michele Cooper - From the Advice category:
Use your sketchbook like a journal. Write down your thoughts, challenges and goals. Put the date on the page and look back here in a year. Use words, poetry, music, colors for their own sake, doodles and drawings to express yourself. Draw in the air, dream and play. (Michele Cooper)

One paints a flower as a portrait, a tree as a figure, a boat as a stone--all simply colors, values, and textures arranged as shapes of interlocking lights and shadows. (Michele Cooper)
Michele Cooper - From the Plein-Air category:
I only paint one thing - the effect of light. If I can do that, then anything worthy of being painted will appear on my paper or canvas - a tree, a forest, a mountain... It will have been worthy because of the unique river of light and shadow that flowed across it for that one brief hour or two. (Michele Cooper)
Michele Cooper - From the Subject category:
Your subject is skittish. Beginners, sneak up on the subject before it gets away from you! Advanced painters, grasp it immediately and hold on from beginning to end! (Michele Cooper)
Michele Cooper - From the Teaching category:
I teach to share the wonder of my discoveries and to exchange with my students the wonder of theirs. (Michele Cooper)
Michele Cooper - From the Understanding category:
I paint so as to better understand my world. I have learned that variations of color and patterns of light and shadow can be infinite. This is true even of the most mundane subject. (Michele Cooper)

Translucence is an effect unique to the medium of watercolor and the lure that beckons me into the studio for yet another creative adventure. (Michele Cooper)
