Watercolor: The Importance of Suggestion

$500.00

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:

Often, it’s the things not fully described that give a painting the ability to captivate and hold a viewer. 

In this workshop we will focus on balancing a region of sharp, focused detail with areas of simple, understated suggestion. This contrast will give our paintings more impact and better engage the viewer.

We will explore not only traditional watercolor techniques, but also ways of combining and incorporating materials such as charcoal, ink, gesso and gouache to really extend the watercolor medium.

The workshop is suitable for all skill levels. I will provide painting subjects and will do at least two demonstration paintings each day
