"Expressive Flowers
and Portrait/Figures in Watercolor"
By Janet Rogers AWS FWS
Artist Statement:
"I love the qualities of watercolor- it's
fluid nature. To me, the interaction of artist with the medium is like
a dance-full of motion, feeling and expression. I love to watch the
painting develop and to discover new color and composition.
As a teacher, I would like to enable
students to find their connections with watercolor in a new and
expressive way."
Janet Rogers AWS
Workshop Description:
Fresh flowers in the studio will be the
inspiration for the beginning of this dynamic workshop - progressing to
the portrait/figure. Through a series of "fun" painting exercises,
students will develop a more loose and natural approach - giving them an
opportunity to be more spontaneous and expressive in their paintings. A
few drawing exercises will be included for the portrait. Many
"features" will be covered !! - including children's portraits. some
students may want to paint just portraits or just flowers, although the
demonstrations and instruction are geared to beginning with flowers and
ending with the portrait/ figure.
Janet will demonstrate her intuitive
approach throughout the workshop and work individually with each
student, as well as class instruction. "Show and Tell" sessions will be
included so that students can see their progression as well as their
fellow students. This is always an invaluable tool.
some of the goals for the workshop will be
to discover new color and design, applying transparent flesh tones,
finding the "life" in paintings, and for students to experience their
own unique "connections" in watercolor.
