Let’s discover the “how to’s” of producing great paintings with sound
design through painting and visualizing new and challenging subject matter. The landscape, still life and
architectural elements will be incorporated. The brush stroke will be emphasized in the understanding the idea of creating the illusion of form in a painting. While using fresh and painterly brushwork, confident expressive paintings will be developed. Learn how to handle edges and temperatures of color, mass, organize darks and lights, and incorporate value sketches in your work. Carr’s passion for art and enthusiastic, spirited teaching style makes this workshop a fantastic and inspiring experience, filled with brave directions for future paintings. |

The New Mexico Watercolor Society sponsors at least two workshops per year in the city of Albuquerque. Normally,
these workshops are taught by the jurors that have been invited to evaluate our exhibits in the Spring and Fall
each year. The NMWS - together with the Arts Alliance and Pastel Society of New Mexico - also sponsors MasterWorks, one of the most important juried exhibitions in the Southwest. All three art associations offer workshops during MasterWorks, plus several demonstrations. Recent Jurors that have taught in our workshops include: Gerald Brommer, Jane Hofstetter, Robbie Laird, Jan Fabian Wallake, Tony Couch and Ron Ranson. Workshop application forms are posted on our web site when we start accepting applications. Most workshops are between 3 and 5 full days. Members of the New Mexico Watercolor Society have first priority for registrations. Information concerning workshops may be obtained from Gina Lubeck at workshops@nmwatercolorsociety.org
