Michael Holter

Our first 3-day watercolor workshop of 2021 will be held virtually ! Entitled, Faces and Places, this workshop focuses on creating impressionistic paintings of people and landscapes. We will paint from photographs and explore the use of light and shadow to create interesting and dynamic compositions. Each day we will work on one or two paintings along with quick practice pieces.

The workshop instructor is Michael Holter, an American watercolorist who is known for his powerful watercolor portraits and landscapes as well as his engaging workshops.  His work has received numerous awards, been published in the NORTHLIGHT books issues and has been selected three times to the Fabriano (Italy) Watermedia Exhibition.

During the workshop, we examine the fundamentals of watercolor painting to assure that all levels of 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 we will engage in exercises that allow us time to practice and share our work.

The BWS Faces and Places workshop will be held online March 14 – 16, 2021 from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm. Only 20 participants are allowed and we accept registration on a first come basis. You can register on the BWS website. If you have questions please contact the BWS Workshop coordinator, Karen Sullenger, at bwsworkshops@gmail.com.
