ANDY EVANSEN
February 13-16 2018
“Simplifying Watercolor”
Intermediate to Advanced Level
Cost: $395 SAWG Members • $495 Non-Members
This workshop will focus on using value studies from the outset to identify the large shapes in a scene. These large shapes provide the artist with opportunities for lost edges when painting in color. Too often the ‘found edges’, or details, take over the painter’s thinking process, and the result is a tight watercolor. In order to loosen up it is imperative to have a clear vision of what you want to accomplish with your painting and then execute it quickly. This class will give you the tools and confidence to do just that.” (maximum of 20 participants)

IAIN STEWART
March 13-16, 2018
“From Sketchbook to Studio – Painting Light in Watercolor “
Intermediate to Advanced
Cost: $395 members, $495 non-members.
Iain Stewart brings to this workshop all of the lessons he has learned over a long career in painting with watercolor. His focus is on bringing each student’s creativity to light in a relaxed setting for all skill levels. Iain will demonstrate his process of creating a great painting from photographs using simplified exploratory sketches and value studies of the subject both in a plein air setting and in the studio. Believing the class time should focus on the student and not how well he can paint, Iain will provide lots of one-on-one instruction and thoughtful critiques for each student.
