Watercolor Workshops with Connie

Painters of all levels of experience are welcome. Bring your own watercolor materials, if you have them. If not, refer to my list of supplies. The recommended watercolor paper for class is 300 lb press rough surface D'Arches. A half sheet works well to fit on the tables. It is heavy and easy to work with. It also lends itself to my scrumbling technique.

The class votes on the image we paint each day from a choice of five or six photos. Each student will recieve a copy photo of it for close reference. After inviting all students to share appropriate experiences in water color, I will list the basic steps in creating the painting. These are always up for revision as our paintings suggest ideas to use as we go along. Then I draw the essentials of the image, explaining how and why so we can draw simultaneously. After that, I begin to paint when everyone is ready. You may duplicate my techniques, explore your own, or modify the subject. It is your choice.

As we progress, I'll come by, make positive suggestions, demonstrate special techniques, and try to answer your questions. If the class chooses to have a critique at the end of each day, we will do just that. We always emphasize the best qualities in the paintings.

We usually begin class at 9 a.m. and end at 4 p.m. We take an hour for lunch if desired. The photos we select are from my own collection. They include florals, landscapes, seascapes, figures, and others.

I hope that you can join us at one of these locations.
