Glazing Florals in Watercolor
May 18-20, 2012 (Fri, Sat, Sun)
9 - 5 pm, ½ hour for lunch
$395 All Levels
Learn the watercolor process Arleta has used for years, that creates delicate glazes of color and allows complete control of this challenging medium. Bring your digital cameras to photograph the flowers under controlled lighting that Arleta has perfected for her own flowers. Then Arleta will walk you through a study painting that will teach you her Watercolor technique where the white of the paper is saved without masking . Arleta will supply reference photo and drawing for the class painting so the class in a fun filled learning experience (watercolor supply list will be e-mailed upon registration)
Artist Statement
My goal is to engage the viewer on three levels: artistically, emotionally, and intellectually. These collections, specifically, ask that the viewer "suspend reality". For example, the depiction of a single floating clock with key awakens the imagination and asks a question. How was this moment in time captured?
Technically, it seems as if the subject were lit from behind the canvas. This is a demonstration of a technique borrowed from the Old Masters . . . the use of many thin dilutions of oil paint to create a "lit from within" quality. It matters not whether the subject is light or dark; these layers create their own prism, gently breaking light beams into rainbows of color.
