Join artist Michael Holter for this fun and fast-paced exploration of people and the way we interact with them. You will work on faces and figures to develop expressive watercolor paintings. Michael will lay the foundation with layers of instruction and assist you to put the pieces together into solid work. You will paint from photographs and explore the use of light and shadow to create interesting compositions and achieve dynamic results.

We will examine the fundamentals of watercolor painting to assure that all students are familiar with the techniques. Daily discussions and application of the principles and elements of design will be woven into your painting experience.

Each day you will engage in exercises that will solidify the content that you are working on and spend time viewing other artists’ work. We will discuss the methods and the impact that these artists achieve using their techniques.

Michael will demonstrate his approach to creating paintings of people and show you several high-speed video demonstrations.
