Nice venue... have a pending sale, maybe two. Even had ladies from

Reviews:
“Chuck McPherson is the ultimate entertainer and watercolor artist.
He can finish a boldly colorful and beautiful watercolor in a matter
of hours while entertaining and astonishing a crowd of on-lookers.
He also paints soft watercolor scenes and meticulously detailed oil
paintings. Everyone needs art in their life and Chuck's art will enliven
any space in your home or office, bringing a smile to your face.
I highly recommend purchasing his art.”
• San Dieguito Art Guild
“Wild Child Watercolor Demo”
San Diego Botanic Gardens (formerly Quail Gardens)
Reviews:
“I truly enjoyed your demo and especially
your very British sense of humour at the
Quail Gardens meeting.”
“Chuck is the
consummate artist with a wide
range of styles. Chuck's workshops are not only
instructional, but highly entertaining as well.
I recommend him as an
exceptional art teacher
and as someone whose paintings you would
want
to have in your home or office.”

“Chuck en Plein Aire”
I support the Arts by practicing what we preach at the SDMA
Artists Guild; Be SmART. Buy ART., by commissioning a soft
sculpture of myself painting outdoors with nationally-renowned
sculptor, Jane Darin. “Chuck en Plein Aire” features all the stuff
I use, including my infamous five-inch brush, blue tape and original
watercolors done at 1/3 scale; stands 24" tall on a 24" base.
See more of Jane's artwork (including her “Georgia O'Keefe”
in the Clinton Presidential Library ).
Feigning my newly shaven mustache for the Artist
at the San Diego Quilt Show doll display...
...her sculpture tied for Viewer’s Choice in voting!!!
SDWS Workshop: Tom Fong
Always looking to improve my skills...
...attended a great four-day workshop with Artist Tom Fong.
Looking to loosen my brush up, this gentle man really knew
how to help me with that... thanks Tom!
