Linda Sutton - The Nature of Transparent Color, How to See & Use It - WAIT LIST ONLY

All Levels, 3 Days - WAIT LIST ONLY. 

CWA's first guest artist for 2012 will be Linda Sutton, an award-winning "plein aire" painter who finds inspiration where she lives in the California hills adjacent to protected open space. Her transparent watercolor paintings wonderfully show the effects of light. Linda works with the relationships between abstraction and realism to capture the essence of a subject or place and engage the viewer's imagination. She is a member of the Society of Animal Artists and has a master signature membership in the California Watercolor Association; signature memberships include the National Watercolor Society, Artists for Conservation Foundation, and Watercolor West.

Ric Dentinger - Seeing & Painting the Layers of a Subject

Ric Dentinger - Seeing & Painting the Layers of a Subject

Intermediate/Advanced, 5 Days

Ric Dentinger is a contemporary realist who paints architecture, still life, portraits, and traditional objects, and has received many awards. He likes “to take a subject and present an aspect of its personality that gives a different or unique perspective.” Ric encourages artists to focus on individual style and incorporate new techniques to augment creativity. His workshop will include the exploration of color theory, methods of applying paint (including brush strokes, mistake correction, underpainting, flat and graded washes, dry brush effects, wet-in-wet), and design and composition. Ric will demonstrate his approach of working from the darks to the lights, his use of jewel-like color, his texturing techniques, and the use of gouache for certain effects. In addition, the workshop will include a project on watercolor art board and a discussion of its benefits, as well as current limitations.
