Create strong watercolor paintings of people from your photo references and snap shots. This workshop is intended to encourage and challenge students through design and contrast, to explore character and play with persona. Students will learn the versatility of watercolor when employing a higher ratio of pigment to water, different paper surfaces and pigment properties.

Suggested Materials to bring:
Photo/snap shot reference of one or several people. Pre-drawing allows more painting time but is optional.
Good watercolor paper such as Arches or Lanaquarelle, to name a few, 140 lb. weight.
Palette with large wells and mixing space.
Tubes of watercolor paints so fresh paint may be used instead of dried paint.
Variety of pigments; transparent through opaque, values and fun colors, include titanium white watercolor.
Brush collection to include some flats and at least one 1½" or 2" wide flat brush.
