Workshop Description: 
Let the watercolors flow in this exciting new workshop!  “Celebrating Your Creative Talent” is designed for intermediate to advanced watercolor artists and explores the use of clear transparent color to create paintings that are exciting in value, color dominance and choice of subject.  The artists will complete challenging exercises designed to push them to try new aspects of using the fabulous medium of transparent watercolor and take them out of their current comfort levels of painting.  Demonstrations as well as one-on-one instruction will be presented throughout the workshop.

 This workshop is an in-depth “color” class for students who have a basic knowledge of watercolor.  Kathleen will be teaching lessons and giving demonstrations in color mixing, color “painting and pouring” techniques and formulas for paint colors including those that she uses to attain the vibrant hues found in her paintings.  Kathleen will share her four “color palettes” to help you choose compatible “exaggerated colors” as well as her color-mixing secrets for clear vibrant “no mud” washes that enhance a center of interest.  Intermediate level painters will make studio color charts and all artists will work on individual paintings with their own choices of subjects.
