Capture the luminosity and drama of light, and paint with more emotion in this 2-day watercolor workshop!   Alicia will work with students on what to look for in a good reference, how to utilize light with shapes, color, and other exciting design elements to tell a much more interesting story in a painting than what the photo reference offers.   Alicia will demonstrate each day and students can either follow along with the same subject or choose their own.  She will demonstrate painting a human face with dramatic light shapes and another subject with dramatic light.  This workshop will be suited for any level of watercolor experience, Alicia likes to work with each student individually to help nurture their own path.

Space will be limited. Please contact Alicia through her website www.afarris.com or email her at abfarris81@gmail.com to register or with questions.

Alicia Farris will share her studies of the human face in this two-day watercolor workshop.  Using Alicia’s characteristic loose and colorful style, you will learn techniques to portray not just a likeness, more importantly, the personality and emotion of the human face or a subject.  Students will benefit from demonstrations as well as discussion, individual and group critiques.

This class is intended for the painter who has at least a basic command of the watercolor medium; portrait painting is not a pre-requisite. 

Sample photos for the first day will be supplied to all students who register along with the supply list.  Students will have the opportunity to work from their own photo if they wish during the workshop.
