Mix colors on your palette at Gary Eckhart's painting workshop.
Whether you are new to the art of watercolor painting or have become more experienced in the media, you will not want to miss either of the two watercolor workshops Gary is offering as part of the Vermont Festival of the Arts.
Saturday, August 22, the workshop DYNAMIC COMPOSITION FOR A BETTER WATERCOLOR PAINTING explores the techniques used to create outstanding watercolors through the use of better composition. Exploring the various composition possibilities with small watercolor exercises will lead to the creation of a larger finished watercolor.
Sunday, August 23, the workshop USING DYNAMIC COLOR FOR A MORE EXCITING WATERCOLOR PAINTING explores the impact color has on creating mood, contrast and emphasis in a painting. A series of mini-exercises will lead to the painting of a larger finished watercolor. Some experience with watercolor painting is recommended for this workshop.
The workshops, held here at Moosewalk Studios, start at 9:00 am and finish at 4:00 pm each day. There is a lunch break for socializing (bring a box lunch – beverages are provided). Bring one or two of you own paintings to show and discuss during the lunch hour.
The fee of $80.00 for each workshop includes some special materials to augment your own supply of paints, papers and brushes. The cost for both workshops is $150.00. You can register through this web-site or by phone 802.583.2224 to receive a complete list of materials. Workshops are limited to six people.
