Watercolor Workshop in August with Diane Perry at CAG

"Encouragement" Watercolor by Diane Perry

DIANE PERRY WORKSHOP

AUGUST 24 AND 25, 2013

9 AM - 4 PM

Cost:   $130 CAG Members
  $150 Non-Members

GLAZING: COLOR + TRANSPARENCY

Part of the magic of watercolor is its transparency. We will be exploring the nature of color when one hue overlaps another. We will explore how to put that transparency to very good use by:

• learning to create a rich assortment of colors

• learning how to alter an "inaccurate" color to produce a more desirable color 

• warming or cooling an already existing color  

Bring your own photo references to paint from because each person will be working with subject matter of their own choosing. Feel free to bring existing paintings that you might want input on regarding how to alter particular color problems or issues.

This workshop is open for beginners to advanced students. It's helpful if folks have had some watercolor experience but certainly is not necessary...every body's welcome!

_______________________________________________________

We want to thank Mike Beeman, Cheyenne resident and nationally recognized award winning artist who was kind enough to judge the 2013 Western Art Show!!!

Mike Beeman PSA, IAPS-MC

Mike’s interest in art began at an early age while living in Banbury, England.  His neighbor, a portrait artist, sparked a fascination that has influenced him throughout his career. Painting in oils or pastels, in studio or on location, his love for a challenge takes him from figurative work to landscapes to still lifes.  No matter the subject or medium, Mike is focused on capturing the light and creating a mood that will engage the viewer.  His work has been selected in Pastel Journal’s top 100 competitions (2013 Silver Award for still life), the Richeson 75, and International Association of Pastel Societies’ exhibits.  Mike is a signature member of the Pastel Society of America and a member of the IAPS Master Circle.
