Watercolor Workshops 2013
Ric Dentinger - Seeing & Painting the Layers of a Subject - All Levels
All Levels, 5 Days
Ric Dentinger is a contemporary realist who paints traditional subjects with a passion for watercolor that is reflected in his bold and confident approach. The signature of a Dentinger watercolor is his use of intense color, dramatic highlights, and bold expression!
He began his career as a professional illustrator and art director and has illustrated for companies like Coca Cola, Michael's Arts and Crafts, Lexus and Valero. Collectors of his paintings have described his work as "strong, dramatic, beautiful and full of light." He likes "to take a subject and present an aspect of its personality that gives a different or unique perspective."

Jean Pederson - Faces & Figures in Water Media
Jean Pederson has been painting for over twenty years, balancing her strong teaching abilities and writing with her continuing aspiration to convey her ideas in visual form.

She will encourage you to work beyond your traditional practice in pursuit of your own personal language. Students will be exploring how everything from watercolor to gouache, gesso, acrylics, inks, mark making tools, collage and much more can be applied to figure painting.
