    WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION

    FACES and FIGURES with Alicia Farris

    Alicia Farris will share her studies of the human face and figure in this four-day watercolor workshop.  Using Alicia’s characteristic loose and colorful style, you will learn techniques to portray not just a likeness, more importantly, the personality and emotion of the human face or a subject.  Students will benefit from demonstrations as well as discussion, individual and group critiques.

    This class is intended for the painter who has at least a basic command of the watercolor medium; portrait painting is not a prerequisite. 

    Sample photos for the first day will be supplied to all students who register along with the supply list.  Students will have the opportunity to work from supplied photos or from their own photo if they wish during the workshop. 

    RECOMMENDED EXPERIENCE:

    All levels (basic knowledge & some previous experiences strongly recommended to benefit from this workshop)

    All levels are welcome but students should have an understanding of the watercolor medium. 



    SUPPLIES LIST AND PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS


    SUPPLIES FOR “FACES AND FIGURES IN WATERCOLOR” Taught by Alicia Farris

    Paper - 2-3 pieces of 300lb or 140lb Arches or Fabriano– 22” x 30” hot press paper (I’ll demo on 11” x 15” quarter sheets or half sheets)

    Pad of “cheap” practice paper for testing color mixes You may substitute stretched cold press 140lb paper for hot press, but I will be working on hot press paper, as it works much better with this technique.

    Paint No worries if you don’t have these exact colors. I will be using some or all of the following colors, most of which are transparent: Alizarin Crimson

    Scarlett Lake (W and N)

    Quinacridone Rose Deep (American Journey)

    Yellow Ochre Raw Sienna (Winsor Newton)

    Burnt Sienna (Winsor Newton)

    Indanthrone Blue (QoR, Daniel Smith or American Journey)

    Ultramarine Blue Peacock Blue (American Journey or Holbein)

    Cobalt Turquoise (Da Vinci or Holbein) or Cobalt Turquoise Light (Winsor Newton)

    Hookers Green

    Mineral Violet (American Journey or Holbein)

    Watercolor brushes

    Any brushes that you like that come to a nice point. I use Silver Black Velvet brushes from Silver Ltd. Company. I recommend a #6 or #8 round, and a #12, #14 or #16 round. You’ll start with and use the larger size throughout most of the painting. You might also wish to bring a slightly stiffer, small flat brush for lifting. I like the Silver Monza flat for this.

    Misc.

    Table easel 

    Preferably adjustable palette with large mixing area. Can be a white plastic plate -not Styrofoam 

    Paper box of tissues, Paper towels, or I prefer an old towel

    Large cup or plastic container for water, divided food storage containers work great.

    Clips and board or ½ inch foam core board for painting surface

    Masking tape if you are using 140lb. paper

    Pencil and sketchbook

    Gum or white eraser (Moo eraser is wonderful)

    Photos for subject matter

    ** **You will receive the photos for demo paintings as you will be freer with color and more relaxed painting someone unfamiliar. I prefer that you start with one of the supplied subjects or one of your own of someone you don’t know.

    Day 1 will be elements of faces and a value study. Please come to class with at least one subject drawn and ready to paint. You will also have the opportunity to try the techniques on subject matter from your own photo, or you may choose to paint more of my supplied subjects.

    Please plan your drawing with composition in mind and so that the image takes up the majority of the page. (when doing a face, it will be approx.. life size or a bit larger) Make sure that your pencil lines will be visible through several layers of watercolor. If choosing your own photo, look for good shadow and light shapes and please use a color photo, although you may also wish to print it in black and white for reference. You’ll want to print at least a 6” x 8” - 8”x 10” from which to work or work from your image downloaded to a tablet.

    Plein Air Watercolor with Diane Gibson


    We are pleased to have artist Diane Gibson conduct this watercolor Plein air Program for BWS. She has been a favored instructor for many years.



    Plein Air painting is a wonderful addiction, a chance to be outside and to paint Maryland forests, farmyards and local villages.


    The instructor, Diane Gibson, has been plein air painting in Maryland and while hiking for many years in England, France, and China.  Foremost influences on her style have included Tony Couch, Fritz Briggs, John Salminen, Tony van Hasselt, and the famed English painters, David Curtis and  Edward Seago.  

    As a 40 year + member and past President of the Baltimore Watercolor Society, she believes that improvement in one’s painting involves continually taking courses whenever you can as well as painting in the studio and outside on a regular basis.  Accepting the inevitable frustration and maintaining the courage to solve a conceptual or a technical problem area in your painting is essential to success.


    Diane will teach you how to: 

    Plan and arrange a composition based on a scene which attracts you 

    Position three values—light, medium & dark

    Use a limited palette of six warm and cool primary watercolors

    Use a majority of soft and a minimum of hard edges.

    This one-day course will include:

    • a brief orientation lecture, 
    • a watercolor demonstration,
    • individual instruction and a group critique
