Watercolor Workshop: Spring Flowers
with Doris Ettlinger
After a harsh winter, it’s time to welcome spring and the succession of flowers that bloom on trees and emerge from the ground. The wonderful aspect of painting flowers is that they won’t wilt or go to seed. In this workshop you’ll learn how to plan ahead, paint with courage, and know when to put your brush down. Overworking is more detrimental to flowers than Japanese beetles. Discover the art of brushstroke, balancing water-to-pigment ratios, color mixing, understanding pigment behavior, painting around the whites, and effectively managing the background. Novice - advanced.

Watercolor Workshop: Sketching Figures
with Doris Ettlinger
Learn to capture the essence of the pose by sketching quickly and painting just a little slower. Working with a clothed model, we’ll warm up with gesture drawings, then paint short poses with one color for the shadow. Eventually, we will paint a longer pose exploring how light interacts with the figure, revealing its form and details. We’ll let colors blend where the values are the same. I will try to channel what I learned from two masters, Mel Stabin and Charles Reid. Their figures were full of light and life.
