Join Vlad for an in-depth exploration of his signature approach to watercolor—the Yeliseyev Method—where managing lost and found edges becomes a powerful tool for atmosphere and expression. Manipulating the softness of edges in watercolor painting allows for the attainment of a delicate and mysterious quality. When combined with light effects, this approach can ultimately result in watercolors that are sensitive and engaging, breaking away from a postcard-illustrative and analytical appearance. Skillful manipulation of the edges in a painting requires vision on the part of the painter to enhance the overall impact of the artwork.

Dogs, cats, and other animals have been depicted in master drawings and paintings throughout the centuries — as portrait subjects themselves or as a part of landscapes, domestic scenes, still lifes, and other genres. Find inspiration to make animals a meaningful part of your painting practice. Utilize sketches and photo references to explore ways of realistically and expressively depicting domestic or wild animals, to capture facial features, posture/gesture, and textural effects of fur, feathers and whiskers while learning sound visual principles. Content will include examples from historical and contemporary art, engaging homework assignments, and discussions about the role of animals in art. Instruction will focus on drawing and watercolor or gouache painting, but students are welcome to work in other media.

“Painting Music” is an intuitive painting and drawing, open session for everyone. No painting or drawing skills are needed. Move your paint as the music tells you... on a canvas or in your sketchbook. I create a one-hour playlist of the different subjects each week. You may paint one painting or 10 or as much as you want. No rules. You may interpret the music as figurative or abstract, anything goes! The camera of your device will be pointed to the working area, so we can also see the progress, and be inspired. After the session, we look at each other's artwork and talk about the process.
