Jan Boelte     Sept 11-16, 2011 (Four Teaching Days)
Creating Textures for Successful Watercolors

Jan Boelte  Artwork Gardens and landscapes are filled with many different shapes and textures. This workshop will show you how to create the textures needed to enhance your paintings and make them come alive! Grasses foliage, flowers, sand, pebbles, stucco, stone and water textures are some of the subjects that will be explored during the workshop. There will be demonstrations and daily lessons on using these textures in a painting of the day. Weather permitting, we will go out on location one day and paint textures from our observations. Daily critiques will give you ideas on how to use and improve on what you have learned. Join me in a fun filled workshop of painting textures in gardens and landscapes!
