November 16, 2010 Russell Black Fire and Water (Wash and Silhouette) Workshop
When: November 16, 2010
Contact: E-mail Carol Larson at musiccarol@msn.com or call 435-635-6966
Description: This full day of painting is a true, "trial by fire" watercolor workshop. Participants will be designing and creating a watercolor painting, immediately followed by a critique of their work. The critiques will then be used to make changes and improve the painting in the next round. With each successive round, the painting will be modified and simplified to pull out the essence of the subject. This method of working will challenge your design and picture making skills. The goal, at the end of the day, is to have a fresh, loose, and exciting watercolor painting.
