WAS-H hosts Major Workshops taught by nationally known artists. Two are in conjunction with the International Watermedia Exhibition (IWE) in March and the Annual Members Exhibit (AME) in October when the visiting artist is also the juror and judge for the corresponding exhibit.
Michael Holter
June 26 - 29, 2024
Watercolor Impressionism: Waterscapes/landscapes and How to Incorporate Figures
Members $500 Non-members $550
Novice to advanced students are welcome
This workshop will focus on the use of watercolor to paint exciting impressionistic paintings. You paint from photographs and will explore the use of light and shadow to create interesting compositions and achieve dynamic results.
We will examine the fundamentals of watercolor painting to assure that all students are familiar with the techniques. Daily discussions and application of the principles and elements of design will be woven into your painting experience.
Each day you will engage in exercises that will solidify the content that you are working on and spend time viewing other artists work. We will discuss the methods and the impact that these artists achieve using their techniques.
We will start with landscapes and progress to more complicated subjects and will include some figurative work.
Michael will demonstrate his approach to creating his paintings and will show you several high-speed video demonstrations.
And you will have ample time to successfully complete your own paintings.
