| Vladimir Zhikhartsev, artist and teacher from Fairbanks, Alaska, taught an extraordinary watercolor class in Seldovia. Being an excellent teacher, we the class, felt we learned an amazing amount of theory and techniques during such a short time. Zhikhartsev is a very knowledgeable artist and has the ability of conveying what makes a good painting to students. We certainly enjoyed the class and hope he will come back again. | |
