The palette knife is very versatile and does so much more than obtaining texture or working in a thick, impasto method. Imagine sooth water with beautiful reflections, and skies that have convincing clouds. In this demonstration, Alex will show how to hold and load your palette knife to get these effects to happen automatically as you paint. All you need to paint along with Alex is either acrylic or oil paint (colors: Red, Blue, Yellow & White), heavy weight drawing paper and a palette knife with a trowel type handle (The metal part of the handle should have a bend it in, not be straight).

One of the amazing qualities of watercolor is an understanding that there is as much power in the areas of the work that are not painted as those that are. And often, to create a sky in our work, the best effects are achieved by learning what areas of our work not to paint. I usually recommend that painters play down areas of sky in a painting so that they do not threaten to dominate the work. But sometimes, the sky is the “star of the show.” In this workshop, I will focus on simple and effective ways to paint clouds and atmospheric effects in both calm and turbulent weather. Class includes lifetime access to recordings, videos, and resources.

The skill of building multiple layers of transparent and translucent paint over an underpainting (glazing and scumbling) is as relevant today as it was to 15th-century Northern European artists who recognized its potential for achieving luminous color and depth. Lecture topics include painting supports (canvas & panel), color palettes, painting mediums, monochromatic and color underpainting, color mixing and layering techniques. Essential for painters of all levels and styles, and ideal for non-artists interested in learning more about painting!

Evelyn’s watercolor painting techniques demonstrate how to capture the softly unfolding petals of peonies and the other flowers shown in this bouquet of flowers from her garden. We will aim to be botanically correct, but also show the beauty of flowers in a more impressionistic way — the velvety quality of a petal, the delicate colors, the satin shine of a leaf. In this workshop, you will learn to capture not only the colors but also the textures and shadings that are so important in painting flowers. The importance of brush movement, applying paint, color mixing, layering, wet on dry and wet in wet techniques will all be part of our process to achieve glowing transparency as well as deep rich darks.

Day 1: Composition. It is impossible to overestimate the importance of composition in the creation of works of fine art. Nothing is more important. Analyzing reference photos and using rules of composition, we will completely rebuild the space in our original photo to make our watercolor more interesting. Day 2: Designing a background: When constructing a composition for a single subject (for example, a portrait or a lone figure), we always include a background. But how do we properly create a background so that our subject stays at the center of attention? How do we choose colors and tone? How much should the background fill the space? These critical questions form the foundation of the second day of the course.

Journey with Carol Carter as you develop storytelling through art and explore the meaning behind different paintings. The essential question that this class will center around is, “Why are you painting?” In order to achieve an in-depth understanding, students will be encouraged to share their own art and stories to create an encouraging community of artists who can learn from the experiences of others. Students will participate in two class critiques where they can engage in friendly class discussions that explore why we paint, how we can better communicate our story, and what we can learn from other students. The intention of these conversations is to support students through taking risks, growing their skills, and exploring what art means to them.

Demonstration paintings will be done by Andy to reinforce the day’s lessons.
