I am offering 4 zoom classes that can work in conjunction with the free October Daily Notan Challenge. These classes are designed to help painters get the most out of the challenge- both introducing you to composition and notans before you start, and showing you how you can best use notans in your painting process afterwards.

  • Each class will be a day long, from 9 am to 4 pm PST, with an hour break

  • You can enroll in each on its own, or the whole group for a 100$ discount.

  • Having said that, the curriculum of each class is designed to work optimally if you stack the knowledge you get from each previous class.

  • As always, the Daily Notan Challenge is still free, and is hosted on my free Facebook group “From Photo to Final Painting”.

Some kind words from former students—

“I’ve taken several workshops from Stephen Berry, both in person and online, and  look forward to more in the future. I’ve found Stephen's teaching style to be thoroughly enjoyable and the content of his workshops to be invaluable. He’s a gifted and knowledgeable teacher, an insightful and generous critic, and simply a lot of fun to be around!”

-Laura Kapp

Stephen’s instruction has been very valuable to me. I’ve taken some day workshops. His instructions are clearly presented and so helpful. He’s a highly accomplished artist and good communicator.

-Mary Lou Benton

“Steve Berry has a skillful and joyful ability to focus on and articulate various aspects of the components of creating a painting. His class, writings and experiments have taken me deeper into the fun and understanding of the process. 

I’ve studied with many teachers. After Steve’s class and critique, I am actually motivated to paint.”

-Christiana Duranczy

I am new to watercolor and this class provided me with a huge amount of information and direct support. Stephen is so enjoyable and pleasant, but at the same time has high standards and clear guidelines. I was prompted to work hard. I plan to take future classes.
