I, Bev Jozwiak, will be teaching a watercolor art class “Thinking Outside the Box” at Cole Gallery in March.
For those of you who don’t know me, I come from a family of artists, and have always done art. It wasn’t until my 30′s that I really got serious about art. I had graduated with Honors and a Fine Arts degree (and an art history minor), but didn’t know what to do with it, and so I went to work at a job I had no real interest in. It just paid the bills.
After an early midlife crisis, and realized that I had always wanted to be an artist. I started entering local shows, and the rest in history. I am now signature member of every major watercolor society, most notably The American Watercolor Society, The National Watercolor Society, Watercolor West and NWWS. I have had a plethora of magazine articles in everything from The Artist, Watercolor, to International Artist Magazine, and more. Art is my joy and my job.
During my March Watercolor workshop at Cole Gallery, I will twice a day, with plenty of time for students to paint and receive help. On the last day, after demo, while students are finishing up, I usually do a critique.
In my class you will learn valuable information on painting figures. What materials work best, as well as all the do’s and don’ts of watercolor. This no-nonsense approach will break down facial features and skin tones. Even though figures are my love, there is also time spent on animals, and still lifes.
The learning outcomes for this class are:
- Learn to paint expressive figures.
- Placing figures in a painting.
- Color recipes for good skin tones.
- Good ways to paint hair.
- How to choose good photographs to work from.
- Loosening up, and getting out of the lines.
- Good grays, vibrant colors, rich blacks, and lots of varied colors within your subject.
I look forward to having you join me in sharing the joy of art! The class is currently full, but you can call and be placed on the waiting list. More information about the class can be found on Cole Gallery’s website.
