The emphasis of Patti MacHale Bartol's weekend watercolor workshop is a simple and fun approach, designed to show watercolor in a new light.
The awareness of light is very important in painting, and its presence can greatly enhance any subject. Patti will help her students find fresh ways to look at subject matter, and teach how to simplify subject matter for more visual impact. Students will work either from still life set ups and/or from photos. Patti will also teach and explore design, light effects, color techniques (e.g., washes, color infused glazes) and brushwork.
Each day begins with a demonstration and a suggested assignment. The rest of the day will be for watercolor painting and exploration, one on one help, and critiques.
This workshop can benefit all levels of watercolorists, from beginners to more advanced students. The class size is limited to 15 students, to allow more individualized instruction.
