Jeannie Vodden Watercolor Workshop:

“Painting Lovable Faces”

I’m teaching a 3-day watercolor workshop for WASH at the Sacramento Fine Arts Center.
When: October 15, 16 and 17 (6 hours each day).
The workshop is appropriate for all levels. Each day we will focus on different aspects of creating watercolors of faces.
In this dynamic 3-day workshop we will study eyes, skin, fur, and hair along with the contours and features of the face.
Keeping this fun for all… we will paint any lovable face, but practice the basics as we go.
Students who prefer may use my images and follow along as I demonstrate. Students with more experience may use their own images.

• About Jeannie’s workshops:
  
• Students will be guided in exploring unique techniques used to create translucent imagery.
• Learn how to use a limited palette of only 3 transparent staining hues to achieve beautiful rainbow-colored layers of color.
• By mingling color on dry paper, and on wet, you will create amazing mixes of color through glazing.
• See and learn how to lift and move color while paper is still damp making beautiful fresh textures and surface illusions.
• This process takes some patience, practice and understanding, but the visual effects reveal an unusual depth of color which is well worth the effort.
• Jeannie demonstrates each day.
  Each student will start with practice and exploration of techniques. 
  Beginners may work with Jeannie’s images, while more advanced students may choose the subject matter of their own choice.
