Come and Play! The addition of ink to watercolor painting can give you a new way to work and even re-energize your paintings whether or not you choose to continue to work in this manner.

Explorations will include permanent and water soluble inks as well as the use of transparent watercolor ink. We also will compare the results of pen nib versus brush pen and the application of line prior to and after painting.

Kevin Davidson will teach a two-day workshop focusing on the use of Yupo paper, which isn’t paper at all but plastic. While this surface yields incredibly juicy washes and brilliant color the very nature of the slick surface presents unique problems as well. With Kevin’s expert guidance, all workshop participants will leave with the necessary tools to build confidence using this unusual “paper.”

If you have a difficult time mixing greens and/or if you want to paint trees with more confidence, this is the workshop for you! Various exercises exploring the mixtures of greens will be paired with contour drawing of trees and foliage. The focus will be the creation of interesting paintings with multiple greens not found in the tube or pan. Studio exercises will be combined with work on location.

Tom Fong is an experienced painter and teacher who is known for his lush, spontaneous watercolors and infectious personality. This workshop will encourage students to paint free and loose through the creative spirit of intuition and improvisation. Tom will demonstrate his approach throughout the workshop helping you to be free, to explore and to let your hand lead through new discoveries!

Jim Salchak (NWS, WW) has a fascination with complex subjects and he is a master at simplifying them to make successful watercolor paintings. He will help with compositional formats and advise you about deciding what elements to keep and perhaps more importantly, what to leave out. Demonstrations will be done each day and lots and lots of individual attention provided.

This one day workshop will help students get to know the figure and how it moves. Gesture drawings, quick studies of the head and body as well as longer poses will help all participants gain competence when working with a model. The lively personality of the instructor will make this an enjoyable workshop!

There will be a one hour lunch break mid-day and we have a refrigerator and microwave for students’ use.

This is a workshop of 2 four-hour days for those who want to learn the basics of watercolor. It is aimed at the person who has wanted for years to paint and has no background.

Will this teach you all you need to know about watercolor? Not by a long shot! But it will make you comfortable with the medium and is a very enjoyable class. After this workshop you will be able to transition into other workshops offered by the gallery.

The colors are heatset and permanent so “Z Wear” scarves can be machine-washed in delicate cycle with mild soap and dried on a permanent press setting for 10 minutes.

You can also hang a “Z Wear” scarf on the wall as a home accessory with 3-M Mounting Squares ( available at office supply stores).

Each sacrf is generous in size yet light as a feather, folding without bulk around your neck or in your “Sunday Bag”.

A perfect gift for any occasion from elegant to casual or just to brighten up a wall!
