Capturing the beauty of light through the study of light/ shadow and value/color relationships is a goal for this workshop in watercolor. Subjects include painting a colorful floral still life and landscape including water. As a Master in the American Impressionist Society, Carr will emphasize achieving dynamic paintings using confident, loose, and impressionistic brush strokes in watercolor. Organizing values and perspectives both linear and atmospheric will be covered. Students will enjoy gaining painting skills while exploring the variety of watercolor techniques such as the value sketch, textural, glazing, palette knife, etc. Through individual instruction and critiques, students will develop their own artistic approaches as well as gain inspiration and enthusiasm for future paintings. Photos will be provided but students are welcome to bring their favorites. Suggested reading: "Seeing the Light, an Artist's Guide", North Light Pub., Betty Carr, Author.
