VIRTUAL: Watercolor - Skills in Mixing Color

Jason Michael Bentley

Wednesday evening

October 4

6:00 - 9:00pm

$50 members/$60 non-members

Getting the right color doesn’t have to be a bundle of trial and error. With a bit of knowledge about pigments and their characteristics, we can develop an instinct for efficiently and accurately mixing color. There will be focus on the important and universal role of mixtures formed from primaries, with evaluation on how other tube colors relate in the spectrum. We will explore the warming, cooling, and neutralizing of hues, as well as tinting and shading techniques that maintain richness of chroma... Or not... The point is we’re in control! This open and interactive course will spotlight the instructor’s palette, work surface, and reference in real time, so you can directly see exactly how he mixes and applies paint. The process will be step by step based with short demos so you can take time to follow along and ask questions all the way to the finished painting.

Links to a video recording of each session will be provided, should you miss a class or want to review a session. Links remain available for ​120 days.

October 7 & 8

9:00-11:00am Central Time

In this workshop I will teach you how to simplify scenes and take the fear out of painting people, to see things as simple shapes and eliminate unnecessary detail. We will work with a limited palette and I will teach how to paint wet in wet, dry brush, and the importance of the water to pigment ratio. At the end of the class you will go home with a completed painting and the confidence to put people in your own paintings.

My paintings are inspired by the effect of light and shadow on our environment, creating dynamic shapes and colours. I especially enjoy painting people going about their everyday lives, and I hope to inspire you to see future paintings everywhere you look.

Take time to reflect on your artwork and analyze the feedback you receive from the instructor and peers.  This course will help you identify strengths and opportunities for improvement in your paintings.  You will use this information to refine your technique and style.  Continually challenging yourself to grow as an artist, this class aims to introduce students to the principles of still life composition and provide them with the necessary skills to analyze and critique their work effectively.  

Through practical exercises, demos, and discussions, students will learn how to observe and depict objects in a still life setting, as well as develop a critical eye to evaluate and provide constructive feedback on artwork. Class begins with a group critique setting on what the student is currently working on. The class will then move to simple exercises using a still life set up in the classroom. We will focus on arranging and setting up still life compositions to create visually interesting and meaningful scenes, as well as, exploring the use of props, backgrounds, and the use of negative space. Students will be encouraged to experiment and try new things as they progress in their development as an artist.

Prerequisite: An introduction to watercolor course must be taken prior to registering. This course is intended for the independent painter who has a good grasp on all basic watercolor and painting techniques.

Carla Gauthier

Three Thursday afternoons

October 12, 19, 26

1:00 - 4:00pm

$165 Tuition/$135 members

Do you want to push your painting, define your style, and create a body of work that is cohesive and personal? This will be a student-driven class, with more of a coaching/critique vibe, helping each artist work towards a simple goal – to find their “path” whether it be realistic or abstract, portraits, landscapes, still-life based - whatever it is that inspires you. This class is not a “how-to” class. We will discuss concepts, artistic principles that will help each artist regardless of their style and subject, and do demos that are spontaneous, responding to student problems and needs. Ideally, we become a consistent group, whose input is varied and meaningful. The idea is that you will focus on a subject and approach to carry your ideas forward in a connected way. Work outside class is essential.

Level: Intermediate, Advanced

Supply List: 
Regular Watercolor supplies – paper towels, palette, paints, brushes and the best paper you can afford. 

Get Your Glow On

Carla Gauthier

Two-Day Workshop

Saturday & Sunday

October 14 & 15

9:30 am - 3:30 pm

$170 Regular Tuition

$150 WAS-H Members Tuition

Our watercolor medium is ideal for paintings that “glow”. Glow describes a sense of light that comes from inside the painting itself – like a sunset, a candle, a light in a window. Learn how to use color and value to describe just that – light that appears to come from the paper itself. We will work together on a group project to understand the ideas that will make this work, and will work on individual paintings as time allows.

Level: Beginner with experience, Intermediate, Advanced

Supply List: 
Regular Watercolor supplies – paper towels, palette, paints, brushes. pencil & eraser and the best paper you can afford. 

You should also bring one of your own photographs - find one that emits the special light we will learn to paint.

In this workshop you will hone your ability to keenly observe what you see, learn the value of squinting and persistent relative visual measuring, and develop an insightful depiction of the portrait subject. You will utilize different materials to develop your own line quality and language. No

formula will be imposed, just keen observation.

There will be a discussion, then a 20-30-minute demonstration

using a live model, followed by individual instruction at each easel. Each

student will have an opportunity to complete three to four short-posed

portraits in charcoal and/or conte.

Principals taught in this workshop can be applied to figure drawing as

well.

This class will be held in the WAS-H classroom at 1601 W. Alabama St. Houston, TX 77006

Level: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced

Supply List:

1.  Paper: Stonehenge or Fabriano toned ground paper

Speckletone toned ground paper

2. Drawing board

3. Vine/ Willow Charcoal - forgiving. Soft produces a thicker line/stronger value. The lightest value and thinner line comes with the hard stick.

Smudge stick

6. Kneaded eraser

7. Burnt sienna pan pastel

8. Pan pastel knife and soft covers

These are some of my favorite tools and not required. Please bring

anything you like to work with, but I do highly recommend a toned ground

paper for this particular workshop. It will serve as a halftone so that you

can quickly add shadows and highlights.

VIRTUAL: Watercolor - City Slickin'!

Jason Michael Bentley

Sunday afternoon

October 22

1:00-4:00pm Central Time

$50 members/$60 non-members

Painting urban expanses can be exciting! But rigidity and building perspective can seem tight and intimidating, especially when confronted with a lot of information. The goal is to loosen up a bit and trade some detail for a sense of the organic, finding sharp edge and repetition only where they absolutely need to be. This gives illusion of building clusters without having to paint everything.

In this workshop we will paint from two images. One that can be translated into a very loose, almost completely abstract mass of form to help train our eye to look past the detail. For the second image, we will apply our earlier rehearsal to a final painting, building in more elements to create a convincing cityscape. This open and interactive course will spotlight the instructor’s palette, work surface, and reference in real time, so you can directly see exactly how he mixes and applies paint. The process will be step by step based with short demos so you can take time to follow along and ask questions all the way to the finished painting.

Links to a video recording of each session will be provided, should you miss a class or want to review a session. Links remain available for ​120 days.

Singing Bowls & Creativity

Laura Mossman &

Kristine Hari Shabad

Saturday, October 28

6 pm - 9 pm

$60 Tuition + Supply Fee $25 = $85

$50 members + Supply Fee $25 = $75

It's a full-moon - the perfect time to join us for a 3-hour journey that will combine the healing properties of singing bowls and creative exercises to bring out your inner artist!  The bowls will encourage a state of relaxation and the painting exercises will inspire you to follow your inner spirit as you make your art.

We will start the session by opening our supply kits and doing a few simple exercises to get familiar with the paint.  Then the lights dim, and we get ready to relax starting with a guided mediation led by our Sound Therapist, Kristine Hari Shabad.  At the appropriate time, the quartz bowls will begin to sing.

As the bowls play, vibrations are sent throughout the room and can be felt throughout your body.  These vibrations have been known to restore balance and harmony and have beneficial effects to both your mind and body.  Most people experience a very relaxed state and a feeling of well-being.

Students will then return to their painting stations where we will continue to explore our paints, following some mark-making prompts and then allowing the process to take over.

At the end of the session, students will leave relaxed, with a renewed spirit and inspiration to continue to create.

What to bring:  The supply fee will include ALL supplies needed for the workshop.  Students will take home the supply kit to continue their journey after class.

The supply kit includes:

Paints - Golden Paints and Daler Rowney Inks will be used to provide color.

A Stabilo 8046 water-soluable pencil, a black Micron Pen, and a gel pen will be used for mark-making.  Three brushes (large, medium and small), and several other items to help create unique marks to allow for self-expression.

Please dress comfortably and wear your "painting" clothes - acrylic paints do not come off when dry. 

Students may also bring pillows and/or a yoga mat if they would like to lie on the floor during the singing bowls.

PS:  Snoring is allowed!

No art experience necessary!
