Mary Anderson

Two-Day Watercolor Workshops at ArtWorks.  Cost $85.

(Sign up for all three workshops and receive a $15 discount)

Each workshop day will begin with exercises to encourage creativity and a fresh, loose approach. Included will be contour drawing, color mixing right on the paper and the practice of brush strokes.

There will be a demonstration painting each day with time for students to work on their own paintings. We will discuss and try out ideas for designing a painting keeping darks and lights in mind as design tools.

A minimum of four students is required for each workshop.

Caroline Buchanan

Watercolor Workshops

Caroline has had the good fortune to have studied with some of the most important watercolor teachers of the 20th century. She frequently cites their inspiration in her classes. In this year's Edmond's classes she will be sharing the gift of their teaching starting with Edgar Whitney in the November session.

This is the fifth year of a winter weekend series at the ArtWorks in Edmonds. Each year we have explored an area of watercolor -- such as color or design -- in depth. And each year there has been a supportive atmosphere in which significant growth has taken place. Our focus for the coming season will be the lessons of the master teacher with whom it was Caroline's good fortune to study: Rex Brandt, Millard Sheets, Christopher Schink, Robert Woods, Don Andrews and others. Each has made significant contributions to the development of watercolor as the American medium. In understanding the differences and the common themes of these important teachers, you will broaden your understanding of watercolor and perhaps come closer to defining your unique relationship to the medium.
