Flagler County Art League -Watercolor-Gary Green

Watercolor with Gary Green

This workshop has a two-fold purpose.....to experience plein air sketching

and

painting, as well as studio work.

We will practice sketching with a pen; we will lea

n about composition and

design;

we will experience using primary colors only....mixing them on wet

paper; we will be

working on different types of paper, which I will provide.

I will be providing a painting demonstration plus personal instruction for

each

student daily. A critique will close each day. It is my hope that this

hands-on

instruction will inspire each student to paint with more confidence

as they improve

their skills.

Sessions will be held Monday, March 12th; Wednesday, March 14th and

Friday,

March 16th. Classes will be held from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. Students will

provide their

own lunch and drink each day.
