This dynamic 2-day workshop sponsored by BWS is designed to enable participants of all levels to quickly gain confidence in approaching painting children in a more spontaneous, intuitive and expressive way. Demonstrations, class instruction, individual assistance, “show and tell”, and a series of “fun” exercises, will weave into class painting time. Special emphasis will be on achieving a fresh look of translucent flesh tones in the portrait with unique color changes, which will add to the excitement of capturing the magic of children.
Students will have an opportunity to work from their photographs or Janet’s. Our goals will be to “see” in new ways – bringing “life” and interpretation to the portrait and figure, and to discover intuitive color and design.
Artist Statement
“I love the fluid nature of watercolor. To me, the interaction of artist with the medium is like a dance – full of motion, feeling, and expression. Discovering new color and composition as the painting develops is my joy. As a teacher, my goal is to enable students to find their connections with watercolor in new and expressive ways.” – Janet Rogers, AWS
