Here's what You get in this BundleWatercolor is a versatile painting medium for a wide range of expression from representational paintings to loose and fluid abstracts. This bundle of courses was created for you, the first-time watercolor artist, maybe you haven’t picked-up a brush in a few years or you are looking for a few tips. Join Dale L Popovich IWS as he walks you through what it takes to create a powerful watercolor all in the comfort of your own studio. All three courses are landscapes. Dale tells his studio students to start with landscapes, because nature is forgiving and an excellent learning tool. If your placement of a branch on a tree and it is a little off most likely no one will notice. But if you are painting a portrait and don’t get the proportions spot on well, you will have a less than desirable result. Adding to the mix you are learning a new medium – working with wet-on-wet and dry-on-wet techniques, handling your brushes and learning timing. Portraits, animals and flowers will come in due time. Painting landscapes helps quickly build your confidence. All three courses include: • Materials in PDF and JPG format • Popovich’s personal Material List • Photo Reference •Video Lessons  Learn the Basic Principles of Watercolor Dale walks through the essential information regarding brushes, paints, papers, and additional supplies. From there he will take you through the three phases of painting a watercolor as a Paint-Along. You will watch the video and then recreate what he did on the video. This subject is a rural autumn scene in Upper Peninsula of Michigan. We recommend you start with this course.
Dale will help you to get to know your watercolors and give you the confidence to paint impressive work in this wonderful medium all in the comfort of your own studio.
All three courses have a Comments Area at the bottom of each lesson so you can post your watercolor questions and we also offer a private Facebook page.

Lando Center INTO THE WOODS The Northwoods through the eyes of a master artist November 21 - December 24, 2016 Lando Center 4258 County Road B Land O' Lakes, WI 54540 Cheryl Pytlarz Owner (812) 988-4609 landocenter.com Thanks LOLA for a great workshop. I spent the morning painting, demonstrating elements of nature, sky, water moving and still, rocks, handling trees, and different ways of creating textures.
Then the afternoon I conducted a paint-along involving some of the morning's demonstrations. Sharing techniques that allow my students to have a deeper understanding of the medium. I concentrate on composition, controlling wet-on-wet washes, drybrush, spattering, and lifting of the medium with one-on-one instruction. The paint-along took 2.5 hours: I painted for an hour and my students accomplished their paintings in 1 and a half hours As you can see in the group photo I was quite pleased with all of the students paintings.  Here's my Elmhurst class showing off their paintings from a recent paint-along. CLASSES STARTING UP ON TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13TH
In this class you will learn to implement key concepts and watercolor painting techniques that will allow you to have a deeper understanding of the medium. Week one will start with a lecture/demo followed with question and answers. Weeks two through six includes a small demo every other week and one-on-one guidance with focus on the top principles of creating a solid painting: - How to draw - Value relationships - How to paint color interpretation - Composition - Watercolor techniques - How to use your art supplies As you understand these elements through painting pictures you will have better control of the medium and gain a deeper understanding of the creative process of transparent watercolor painting.

About the Historical Brown County Art Gallery and Artists Association
The Brown County Art Gallery was established in 1926 by the early members of an important regional art colony who began exploring rural southern Indiana in the 1890's. These early artists had been trained in the best art schools of Europe and America and were attracted to the rolling hills of Brown County because it offered both dramatic landscapes and interesting people to serve as subjects for their work. In 1926, they formed the Brown County Art Gallery Artists Association and set up a gallery in a former grocery store donated by a patron. For over eight decades, the Gallery has managed to survive wars, depressions, recessions, fire, and relocation, making it one of the oldest galleries in the United States. The Artists Association website can be found at browncountygallery.com. |
