  Transparent Watercolor Portraiture & Figure

  with Fealing Lin, NWS, TWSA
  

  Workshop Description

  Although portrait painting can be very intimidating, Fealing will teach you how to relax and enjoy the process as you discover the spontaneity and uniqueness to watercolor. You will also learn how to capture the quality of light available to you. You will achieve a level of transparency with your images anddevelop an understanding of head architecture that will give you the confidence to take on even the most challenging portraits. Award winning watercolorist, Fealing combines semi-abstract strokes and impressionistic concepts to elicit life and movement in her portrait and figure paintings. There will be daily lecture, exercise and demo. Fealing will assist and critique student's works whatever way she could, and allow the students to work on their own pace. During this workshop, learn how value and temperature change, as well as how to use transparent glazing to allow the glow of the paper to shine through. By balancing colors and weaving lights and darks, you will achieve painterly and successful paintings. She will spend time in the workshop discussing the value and essentials of a good drawing, although the focus will be on painting.

  Workshop Coordinator is Ray Prudhomme - 505-296-0273

  “Watercolor Techniques"

  Marie Siegrist Mini Workshop Series

  Cost: Members $100 total (includes all three classes) Limit: 10
  Please note LOCATION CHANGE from our usual.  This workshop will be at Frame & Art Center (see address below). 

  This series of three classes will appeal to those who are getting started in watercolor and want to have some of the “mystery” of how it works revealed. The classes will also appeal to more experienced watercolor painters who want to sharpen their skills.

  Each week there will be a demonstration of some aspect of painting with watercolor, i.e. beautiful washes, wet into wet, wet onto dry and drybrush, ways to imply texture and how to get dark values, and much more. There will also be informal discussion of types of watercolor paper, brushes and paints, etc. After the demonstration there will be plenty of time for painting and individual attention. The goal for each week will be to go home with a complete or nearly complete small painting.

  This will be a fun, relaxed series of watercolor classes. Hope you can come.

  Instructor Bio: 

  Marie has painted since childhood. One of her earliest recollections of painting was when her parents gave her a little pail of water and a paintbrush and asked her to “paint the garage”. She painted the boards as high as her arms could reach with the brush dunked in water and she delighted in the pattern the water made as it ran down the brown paint of the garage. Painting has been a passion ever since. Now she paints with color, design, and light. Watercolor and other Watermedia such as acrylic, casein, and watercolor pencils are her favorite mediums.

  Her background includes study with many nationally known Watercolor Artists and Workshops at the University of Wisconsin Extension. She taught watercolor in the Madison Area Technical College System for many years and also conducted self-promoted workshops and classes. She continues to teach in Las Cruces.

  Marie’s subject matter is wide and varied including dramatic skies, landscapes, up close nature studies, flower themes, interesting doors and windows and other enticing subjects that present themselves, making it impossible not to paint them. Most of her work begins in the field with sketches, notes, and supporting photos, then the process of planning and designing begins in her studio.

  Membership in several art organizations including New Mexico Watercolor Society, in which she achieved Signature Status in 2010, Artists of Picacho Hills, and associate membership in the National Society of Painters in Casein and Acrylic (NSPCA) have been an inspiration to strive for excellence in her chosen medium.

  Sponsored by the NM Watercolor Society's Southern Chapter.
