Watercolor Workshop offered by Janine Gallizia:
A THREE DAY Workshop
November 14th, 15th & 16th / 9am to 4pm
OPEN TO MEMBERS & NON-MEMBERS
This workshop will be limited to 20 participants.
For details about this workshop and to reserve your seat CLICK HERE.
During her workshop, Janine will spend time with each student to determine which habits are being repeated and actually hindering progress; she will then use target exercises to change these unwanted habits and correct weaknesses.
Students will then put these new habits to the test by painting full paintings and see how progress has evolved. Yes, correcting habits can occur that fast!
“My role as an artist is to create art that touches people and makes them consider different positions on life. I feel that technique is over-rated and “feeling” in a painting is under-rated. However, when both are combined the effect is so much stronger. This is my goal for my paintings.”
A detailed supplies list will be available.
