Workshop Description
Come and explore how light, design, and colour can put passion in composition! In this three day workshop, we will explore three different urban and rural landscapes, each with their own special charm. For the artist that craves colour, then this workshop is definitely for you! We will explore architecture as well as rural elements as they are described in beautiful colour and light with the addition of 'mixed media' for those who want to explore additional options to enhance their paintings.
A strong sense of composition including both atmospheric and simple linear perspective will be taught and emphasized with each painting.
Three subjects, one for each day, with the incorporation of watercolour and various techniques, will be demonstrated and taught. In this ALL LEVELS workshop, both advanced and novice painters will enjoy the process. *Please note: An optional drawing for each reference will be supplied with full instruction on ‘how to transfer” the drawing on to the watercolor drawing. These simple instructions will be sent to each student. The color choices and additional supplies will be sent to each student for each painting. You will receive color lists, supplies for that day, and also the drawings and additional notes.
Day 1, will begin with a watercolor painting, capturing the elements of this extraordinary medium with no addition of mixed medium. A complete exploration of color and technique will be demonstrated and taught.
Day 2 will begin with a demonstration of another reference, and here we will begin to explore the addition of watercolour with the exploration of various medium, i.e. pen and ink and gouache. Marvel at how this will enhance colour in your painting!
Day 3 will begin with a demonstration of our third reference. This dramatic and exciting experience will explore watercolor in a new light. You will explore various mixed medium on specialized prepared watercolor paper, called Plate Bristol, and will discover how this painting achieves fabulous results. Full instruction and a hands on approach, with individual attention will be emphasized.
*Please note: Various mixed medium options and paper selection will be sent out in the supplies list.
Since color is a passion for Bonnie, and has always been a strong key characteristic of her work ,she will be teaching various color and color combinations. An exploration of color, and its special effect on light, will be especially emphasized in our daily painting. You will discover the secret of painting with passion!
