(Five Teaching Days)
Watercolor Rhythms with Flowers, Faces & Figures
Returning to Dillman’s for the 2nd time in 2010
www.watercolorsbyrogers.com
Fresh flowers in the studio will be the inspiration for the beginning of this dynamic workshop – progressing to the portrait and figure. Through a series of “fun” painting exercises, you will develop a a looser and more natural approach – giving them an opportunity to be more spontaneous and expressive in their paintings. A fe w drawing exercises will be included for the portrait. Many “features” will be covered!! - including children’s portraits. We will work with photographs and progress to the model. Some students may want to paint just portraits or just flowers, although the demonstrations and instruction are geared to beginning with flowers and ending with the portrait/figure.
Janet will demonstrate her intuitive approach throughout the workshop and work individually with each student, as well as class instruction. “Show and Tell” sessions will be included so that students can see their progression as well as their fellow students. This is always an invaluable tool.
Some of the goals for the workshop will be to discover new color and design, applying transparent flesh tones, finding the “life” in paintings, and for students to experience their own unique “connections” in watercolor. All levels welcome.
Janet is a nationally recognized instructor, conducting workshops all over the United States and in Europe, and is a signature member of the American Watercolor Society, as well as others, winning many awards for her paintings.

ARTIST’S STATEMENT:
“I love the qualities of watercolor – its fluid nature. To me, the interaction of artist with the medium is like a dance – full of motion, feeling and expression. I love to watch the painting develop and to discover new color and composition.”
As a teacher, I would like to enable students to find their connections with watercolor in a new and expressive way.”
