From Line and Shape to
Complex Surface
Gerald F. Brommer
This new workshop explores two of the major art elements, shape and line,
and how they can be effectively used in generating exciting visual
images.
A variety of approaches will be used, combining watercolor or acrylic
paint, collage, pen and ink, markers, and found papers and materials. A
sequence of projects will lead from an understanding and effective use
of shape and line to development complex surfaces. A unique and
different direction will add another dimension to your visual
vocabulary.
The overriding goal is to help you achieve a new freedom of expression,
to develop another way to develop surfaces, to explore alternative ways
to express yourself while working with watermedia and collage, and to
enjoy the confrontation with a new technique.

 Figure
Painting in Watercolor
Don Andrews
Artists will benefit from a
more intimate understanding of color and its possibilities.
Addressing the figure as the subject for a painting with the
same artistic freedom employed when attempting other subjects in
nature is the central theme of Don’s figure class. This class is
geared to intermediate and advanced painters who are looking for
a challenge.

Master Class
Harold Gregor
The Master Class is intended for accomplished, self motivating
artists who are interested in expanding their thinking about watercolor
as an aesthetic enterprise. Each participant will work in any manner
desired. The group will meet for an hour each morning to discuss
watercolor
concepts and issues, particularly artistic assessment, analysis and
traditions. The session will try to encourage an interchange between
participants so that their collective understandings can be shared,
questioned and discussed. Topics may include, “Color-formed space,”
“The limits of watercolor,” “The technical display,” “So
what’s new?,” and “Who is my audience?” Discussion will be accompanied
with handouts. Since it is assumed that each participant already will
have achieved an artistic individuality, individual scheduled critiques
will involve artist options and personal goals, concerns, and
thinking. No oils please.
