Watercolor Landscape Sketching of the Ranch
Join Eddie for a relaxed and inspiring introduction to watercolor landscape sketching. He believes that creativity is innate—something we all expressed freely as children—and his teaching style helps rekindle that natural artistic instinct.

During this class, you will:

• Learn simple techniques for combining watercolor and ink
• Observe and sketch the Ranch’s striking natural beauty and architectural features
• Practice capturing what you see with both your eyes and your spirit

Whether you are completely new to painting or looking to build on past experience, you’ll enjoy discovering how easy and rewarding watercolor sketching can be. Come explore your creativity in a supportive, playful, and beautiful setting.

Eddie Omens was born and raised on Chicago’s South Side, where early visits to the Art Institute of Chicago sparked a lifelong love of drawing and painting. Although he ultimately pursued a career in dentistry—encouraged by physician relatives who doubted the practicality of an artist’s life—his passion for art never faded.

For the past 15+ years, Eddie has taught watercolor and ink at San Diego’s OASIS Life Long Learning & Wellness Center and at various venues throughout San Diego. He lives in Mission Hills with his wife, Mary Jane, of 37 years. Eddie’s greatest joy is showing others how approachable and enjoyable watercolor and ink can be.
