"Capture the Moment”

Watercolor Outdoor Workshop
North Shore Arts Association
June 26, 27 & 28, 2009

10 a.m. – 4 p.m.

Enjoy the luminous light on the harbor and its surroundings! During this three day “plein air” workshop you will learn to ‘capture the moment’ with light and shade. The“moment” occurs when something grabs your attention and compels you to paint it. The light defines it in space and your painting - saves it forever!

Each day will start with an on-site demo, covering composition, shapes, values and color. Donnelly will advise at your easel with an emphasis on individuality. You will learn to judge your own work in a relaxed atmosphere during the positive group critique. This helps you progress, building on the knowledge gained on the previous day. A learning experience with lots of fun and new painting friends.

Traveling often to paint, I love to share how to grasp a concept and develop it quickly. Pure joy!”

How can you make your watercolors more compelling? Eye-catching? Breathtaking?
Saturday will start at 9:00 with a Still Life demonstration to reveal some answers to these questions. The basics of concept, composition, values, shapes, movement and the enchantment of transparent color will be covered. This still life will remain set up for day two for those who wish to continue on it.

However, Sunday will begin at 9:00 with a quick demo of how you “capture the moment” in a scene outdoors or when traveling for those who wish to venture into another motif. Bring reference photos if desired.

Barbara will help as you paint and give an informal group critique at the end of each day.
