"High Impact Compositions in Watercolor" 

Description: The Guest Instructor, Tina Stallard, NMWS is an award-winning artist trained in Graphic Design at the Univ. of Calif. Berkeley Extension. This workshop will focus on understanding the powerful compositional techniques for designing successful paintings.

Working from photos (personal or provided), participants will learn to identify and distill the essentials of composition. Then, students will practice developing balanced perspectives and value studies for stronger foundations. This process will minimize clutter, while strengthening and refining the painting center of interest. Participants will also develop color palettes; exploring warm vs. cool colors and the roles they play. Starting with the backgrounds using a "wet into wet" technique, artists will block in the shapes and values from their value study to produce soft edges and atmospheric effects that unify and harmonize the background and focal point. As time allows there will also be discussions/demos of effective "tips and tricks", along with one-on-one time (does not include pouring techniques)

Limited to 14 students
