Full-Day DRAWING & PAINTING Watercolor Workshop in the Great Northwoods

I had a great turnout for the LOLA Land 'O Lakes Arts All-Day Workshop. I was amazed at the turnout because the day was quite chilly, -15. But then I remembered the folks up north are of hardy stock. Weather doesn't stop them.

The class was made up of beginners and intermediates. LOLA has quite a great reputation to offer quality class for all ages thanks to WENDY POWALISZ, Programming Director​. 

Wendy said there had been great interest in a drawing class with a focus on simple perspective. So I created a specially tailored workshop just for them called Learn How to Draw Structures Fast and Easy, Then Paint in Full-Color Watercolor. 

First half of the day I demonstrated and shared basic linear perspective theory with simple structures. They also learn two-point perspective and recreated what I shared with them by creating simple drawings.

In the second half of the day the class applied the knowledge in a transparent watercolor painting. During this session they developed a snow scene using the two-point perspective from the morning. They gained an understanding of working from foreground to background, large to small and temperature changes in the snow scene. 

The day flew by, lost of questions were asked and my final watercolor demo painting was raffled off. Thanks LOLA for another great workshop.

From there I went back to our cabin, talked about my day with Marilee and took my best girl out for dinner. Life is good.
