Janet Rogers
Expressive Loose Watercolors – Flowers To Figures
Sep 10 - Sep 15
4 Teaching Days
Description
Fresh flowers in the studio will greet artists for the beginning of this dynamic and energetic workshop to focus on creating colors in a fun, intuitive and spontaneous way – resulting in building confidence when faced with painting people. Janet will provide drawing helps to enable all levels to be comfortable as we move into painting the head and figure.
NO FEAR!!!
Then we will experience the joy of flowing on colors to produce unexpected color movement – from life and photos. Some of our goals – capturing the gesture of our subjects, discovering design, exciting flesh tones, avoiding mud, overwhelming areas, and keeping the whites in our paintings. Having an opportunity to work from a model for a short period will be a highlight!!! You can take home photos to work from as well as this invaluable experience! Janet is a passionate instructor who values giving individual help as well as demonstrating different approaches and connecting with the goals of the artists to create spontaneous and fresh watercolors!

ARTIST’S STATEMENT: “I love the qualities of Watercolor – its fluid nature. To me the interaction of artist and 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 an instructor, I would like to enable students to find their connections with watercolor in a new and expressive direction.” Janet Rogers, AWS
