SUMMARY:Mini Workshop - Portraits with Linda Neal
DESCRIPTION:Wickham Park Community Center\n2815 Leisure Way\, Melbourne FL 32935 \nInstructor – Linda Neal\nWhether a new or accomplished watercolor artist\, you should try your hand at a portrait. Don’t be intimidated! Linda Neal asks\, “Which is more difficult\, a cloud or a portrait? For me\, the answer is simple – a cloud.” \nCome join Linda and give it a try or pick up a tip or technique to add to your current skill level. \nYou will not need to draw. You will trace your portrait onto the watercolor paper. Linda will be demonstrating how to paint the facial features during the times that we must let our portrait dry. \nSupplies:\n\nArches 300Lb.Cold Press 100% cotton watercolor paper (10” x 13” allowing for outside margin) and additional paper used for examples of facial features**\nKing Art #10 & #12 brushes**\nFine detail brush**\nWinsor Newton New Gamboge & Scarlet Lake (for flesh tones)**\nStandard colors by Daniel Smith**\nA good candid headshot of your subject sized to fit on 8 ½” x 11” bond paper\nOther typical supplies: Tape\, paper towels\, water reservoirs\, transfer paper\, #2 pencil.\n\n**If you don’t have these specific supplies\, bring professional quality paints\, brushes and 100% cotton watercolor paper. \nNotes: \n\nYour reference photo should be forward facing. Eyes do not need to be looking straight forward. Do not transfer your reference photo beforehand\, as that will be part of the process Linda will take us through at the workshop.\nIf you have a portrait in progress\, one to start\, finish or show\, feel free to bring it.\nLinda will provide a head shot reference photo if you don’t have one to bring.\n\nLinda Neal:\nBefore trying watercolors\, I worked in other mediums as a portrait artist participating for 20 years in the juried art show circuit in Oklahoma\, Texas\, and Florida. I earned my share of awards and publicity but was ready for a new challenge when I moved to Florida. Trying my hand at watercolor for the first time\, it seemed unmanageable compared to charcoals\, oils\, or pastels. My initial frustration soon turned into determination\, then passion. The flow of water and brilliant colors paints itself into crystal\, water\, and the “dreaded” landscape! My passion for watercolor has turned into the joy of teaching it to others. I have taught in Brevard for 24 years wherever an interested group will gather. \nI paint in layers on 300# Cold Press Arches\, starting with a very loose\, wet underpainting to give the final painting a glow that comes through the transparent colors. Each layer is allowed to dry and becomes more detailed as I work wet-into-wet\, mixing colors as I go. I mask areas in different layers when necessary and change brushes and brush strokes as needed. With an eye for detail\, I work intuitively as I think ahead\, visualizing shapes and saving whites\, allowing myself to be a spectator as my brush dances across the paper. I strive to capture\, hold\, and entertain myself and the viewer with the use of color\, value\, and emotional appeal. I paint for the bliss; it’s who and what I am. \nCost:\nMembers – FREE\nNon-Members – $20 \nRegistration Form\nWe're sorry\, this workshop has reached its maximum entry capacity. Please email bwsminiwkshp@gmail.com if you wish to be added to the waiting list.

SUMMARY:Mini Workshop - Creating the Illusion of Depth with Ed Carlson
DESCRIPTION:Wickham Park Community Center\n2815 Leisure Way\, Melbourne FL 32935 \nInstructor – Ed Carlson\nParticipants will be painting “Miller’s Marina\,” by Ed Carlson. Teaching points are: Creating the illusion of depth with color\, shadows and values. And\, painting reflections. \nArtists will use: \n\ncerulean blue\nultramarine blue deep\nhooker’s green deep\nraw sienna\, burnt sienna\npermanent red deep\nblue violet\nlemon yellow\n\nSketch will be provided in the confirmation reminder email to the registrants\, one week before the workshop. \nAbout the Artist\nEd Carlson captures the charm of weathered fishing shacks\, quiet waterways\, and coastal life in his expressive watercolor paintings. Originally from upstate New York and now based in Satellite Beach\, Ed paints the places he loves most—scenes full of light\, texture\, and timeworn beauty. His work reveals a fascination with the character of old coastal structures\, their crooked lines\, sun-bleached wood\, and the way light shifts across their surfaces throughout the day. His subjects range from nautical vignettes and tropical landscapes to snowy scenes that recall his northern upbringing\, each piece infused with atmosphere and storytelling. \nIn addition to his own work\, Ed shares his love of watercolor through teaching. His playful\, encouraging approach helps students loosen up\, take risks\, and rediscover the joy of painting—whether by experimenting with unconventional brushes or learning to see with a childlike sense of wonder. Mentored by master watercolorist Tom Jones\, who describes him as a “natural talent with passion\,” Ed’s paintings reflect not only technical skill but also a life lived close to the water\, celebrating the textures\, colors\, and rhythms of the coastal world he loves. \nCost:\nMembers – FREE\nNon-Members – $20 \nRegistration Form\nWe're sorry\, this workshop has reached its maximum entry capacity.
