a Watercolor Paint Itself Note: Class #1 arrival is on Sunday and departure is on Friday. Class #2 arrival is on Friday and departure is on Wednesday. If you would like to move to another class, or take both classes, or know of friends who could join you please do not hesitate to be in touch. Nita is one of the internationally known leading watercolorists. She exclusively paints wilderness scenes and paints nothing she has not personally experienced. Photographic material will be supplied for you prior to the class. Nita’s atmospheric watercolors - her illusions of reality - emerge from her inventive experimentation with watercolor. She will teach how to control the water in watercolor, color transition, edge control, wide use of textures, and achieving light in watercolor. Nita will instruct on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. In order for you to be prepared for all that Nita has to offer, on Monday, Dennis Robertson, DCAF president, will offer a “prep day” to assist you with her specific preparation of painting supplies, palette and warm up exercise on the first day. Nita, a native of Marquette, Michigan, attended the Art Institute of Chicago for four years, with affiliated study at Northern Michigan University and Roosevelt University, Chicago.
