Winter Watercolor Workshop
Bob Watson, a local artist, will be instructing a watercolor workshop with techniques that can be used to paint still-life and landscapes. The first part of the workshop will have a warm-up and practice session aimed toward placing people in paintings. The second part will be producing a watercolor that will be based on a subject provided by the artist and will have impressions of people in the painting.
Techniques will include methods for protecting white space, gouging, scraping, and producing texture. Painting types will include simple and quick to more detailed works. Participants must be eighteen years of age or older.
Watson is a retired architect with a lifelong desire to draw and paint. He is a signature member in the Georgia Watercolor Society. Additionally, he is a member of the Top of WV Arts Council, the Steubenville Art Association, The Pittsburgh Watercolor Society, and The West Virginia Watercolor Society.
The workshop is limited to 20 participants and will be held at the Summit Art Gallery located at 3539 Main St., Weirton on Saturday, February 17th, from 10:00 A.M. until Noon. A weather back-up date will be February 24th.
