We are excited to announce Alexis’s “Painting Creatively from Photographs” Watercolor Workshop, September 12-14, 2013, Thursday – Saturday, 9am – 5pm
Workshop Description
Plan ahead for Alexis’ Watercolor workshop!
The focus here will be painting in a creative, personal, and expressive way from photographs -in other words freeing yourself from copying!! Demos will include specific lessons designed to give students new ideas, methods and inspirations for working in this manner. This is a good studio workshop and is designed for all levels of painters, from experienced beginners on up. Painters in all media are welcome. Daily demos and critiques and ample student painting time.
Alexis Says:
During my demonstrations, I talk to the students at length while I paint or draw, explaining what I am doing and why, what I am thinking, what I am deciding to do, what colors or techniques I am using, etc., and constantly inviting questions. Critiques are designed to be positive and constructive experiences; during critiques I emphasize the students’ strengths and offer suggestions to help them improve their work. During individual work time, I circulate among the students, offering help, suggestions, and information as needed. When I am teaching, I am there 100% for the students. I work very hard to give the students as much help, information, inspiration, and motivation as I can!
