    &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  &lt;/blockquote&gt;

  &lt;p align="left" style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;Remember that these workshops fill up very quickly. When filled, you can join the waiting list.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;h2 align="left"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Waiting List:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;BWS maintains a workshop and program waiting list once the event is filled. If registrants cancel, BWS fills the openings from the waiting list on a first-come, first-served basis. There are often cancellations, so it is worthwhile joining the waiting list.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;BWS adds names to the waiting list according to the date and time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;You can't join a waiting list before registration opens.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Waiting List registrants&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;- Do&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;not&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;send payment until you are informed of an opening and have been sent an invoice. Any check sent before you have been informed you have a spot will be destroyed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;h2 align="left" style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;Cancellations and Refunds:&lt;/h2&gt;

  &lt;p align="left" style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Please note, this is a non-refundable program as you will get the recording of the program for 2 months to watch.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left" style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;BWS makes decisions and incurs fixed costs based on the number of initial registrants. Cancellations can affect these costs even if there is a waiting list as people are not always still available. In addition, cancellations incur processing fees and other costs paid by BWS as well as requiring extra time and organizational effort. Refunds for extenuating circumstances are at the discretion of the event coordinator.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;blockquote&gt;
    &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span&gt;From registration date to 60 days prior to the event = 90% refund&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

His objective is to provide you with insights, tips and techniques which you can make your own. He will guide you through the essential principles of color and brushwork, combining detailed explanations with live demonstrations. Frank will then illustrate for you how he incorporates these aspects into his dynamic, light-filled watercolors.&lt;br&gt;

  &lt;p style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px;"&gt;Frank Spino,&amp;nbsp;AWS, NWS, TWSA, PWS, FWS, BWS&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;In 2009, a friend took Frank to his first watercolor show. The talent surprised him - and it got him excited about the medium. Soon after, he began a serious exploration of watercolor.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Frank started his career as a sign painter. He painted thousands of walls and windows, developing logos and branding businesses, large and small. After 15 years he was asked to join the team at Kennedy Space Center. He transitioned to billboard painting where he would often paint a 10’ x 30’ billboard in a single day. As the age-old craft of signpainting began to wane with the advancement of computer technology, Frank went with the rising tide and moved on to computer graphics.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Frank’s decades of creating good design, his knowledge of color, and tens of thousands of hours with a brush in hand were of tremendous benefit when he finally turned his eye towards watercolor.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Frank had a five month solo show at the Museum of Arts and Sciences in Daytona Beach, Florida. His watercolors have been selected for many worldwide exhibitions: World of High Watercolor in Russia, World Watercolor Masters at the International Watercolor Society in Holland, World Watercolor Masters Select Group at The Hague, International Watercolor III, IV &amp;amp; V in Greece, Biennial International Prize Marche D’Acqua in Italy, Shenzhen International Watercolor Biennial in China, Shanghai-Zhujiajiao International Watercolor Exhibition in China, FabrianoInAcquarello in Italy, International Watercolor Society in Canada, Missouri Watercolor International Exhibition in Spain, National Watercolor Society (NWS), American Watercolor Society (AWS), Transparent Watercolor Society of America which he will judge in 2027 (TWSA), Southern Watercolor Society (SW), Florida Watercolor Society (FWS) and many other regional and state watercolor societies. He has achieved signature status in the AWS, NWS, TWSA, SW, FWS, BWS and PWS. (Baltimore, Pennsylvania)&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;His paintings have been published in the Art of Watercolor, American Artist Watercolor, Watercolor Artist, and many others. He had the cover and a seven page article in Watercolor Artist. His painting graced the cover of “Splash 14, The Best of Watercolor,” a hardbound book published annually, and his paintings have been included in Splash 16, 18, 19, 20 and 21.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;When I draw in graphite, here is my preferred pencil: &lt;a href="https://www.amazon.com/Blackwing-Natural-Pencils-Premium-Box/dp/B07R9493TZ/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1FZAKQH9K8TMT&amp;amp;dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.OyFvi6cwaYly__xvBG0PRbdw3CMWmjA6vvuI3FAUVzgllI_NBsExZmQkCcq6uoTGJJa_UsuNMesfYq8Ji38fNgqIiit9qc1NNLkdbSG2mg8BpmCDenEwBcGCeIO7q17YLGVqKW5h-v7VrL7VPWY28tx6RsXHye11lBca57RjPwZgVexu7Q1zOZqF5fEQ6prrTBdUxCc_XbGOOYmDtWUFcan7ShYTH81xKJGhagMrMwBpI2LttBxonIGkaesb-2Sk8lFDiMT3qQ9L4eUsxMkQ4iJ9hCifvu_lWMkikOf0C9w._RALhWDmRnY8LbAM9LKt40nVY-6TBafl0qkxqH18oLc&amp;amp;dib_tag=se&amp;amp;keywords=blackwing%2Bnatural%2Bpencils&amp;amp;qid=1767830805&amp;amp;sprefix=Blackwing%2BNatural%2Caps%2C247&amp;amp;sr=8-1&amp;amp;th=1" target="_blank"&gt;Blackwing Pencil – Natural&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Watercolor Gear:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Watercolor Block&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Saunders Waterford Watercolor Block / 16” x 12” (or any size you prefer) / Rough Surface / Regular White Color / 300gm (140lb)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Other good brands are Arches and Fabriano / any size you prefer / Rough or Cold-Press Surface / 300gm (140lb)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;My suggestion is to stay away from inexpensive brands or any student-grade paper&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Saunders Waterford and Arches papers can be purchased from Jackson’s Art / Fabriano can be purchased at most art supply stores&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Saunders Waterford Block – comes in a variety of sizes&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Brushes&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I use a variety of flats and rounds / some in sable, others in synthetic / use whatever kinds you like&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://a.co/d/05bs3IR5" target="_blank"&gt;Brush holder&lt;/a&gt; to keep the brushes protected&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Palette&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I highly recommend this palette:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Portable Painter Palette is excellent and inexpensive / get the “Classic Plus Kit” (it has extra wells for additional paint colors, if desired) / visit &lt;a href="https://www.portablepainter.com/product-page/classic-plus-kit" target="_blank"&gt;Portable Painter&lt;/a&gt; and enter promo code SCOTT during checkout to receive a 10% discount on your order (promo code is case sensitive)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Watercolors&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You are welcome to use any colors and brands you like. Here are the colors I use and how I organize them on my Portable Painter Palette (corresponding to the 15 paint wells shown in the photo below).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="https://bws.wildapricot.org/resources/_Programs/Richard%20Scott/palette_new.jpg" alt="" title="" border="0" width="567" height="679"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Middle Row (listed from left to right):&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Cadmium Yellow Lemon – Schmincke Horadam Aquarell&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Cadmium Yellow Deep – MaimeriBlu&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Quinacridone Gold Hue – Schmincke Horadam Aquarell&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Cadmium Orange – MaimeriBlu&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Transparent Brown – Sennelier L’Aquarelle&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Quinacridone Red – Winsor &amp;amp; Newton Professional Watercolour&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Bottom Row (listed from left to right):&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Winsor Green (Yellow Shade) – Winsor &amp;amp; Newton Professional Watercolour&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Viridian – MaimeriBlu&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Cerulean Blue – Winsor &amp;amp; Newton Professional Watercolour&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Cobalt Blue – Winsor &amp;amp; Newton Professional Watercolour&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Utramarine Light – Sennelier L’Aquarelle&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Mixed Violet – a mixture of two watercolors: Cobalt Blue – Winsor &amp;amp; Newton Professional Watercolour and Quinacridone Red – Winsor &amp;amp; Newton Professional Watercolour (I mix 2 parts Cobalt Blue to 1 part Quinacridone Red)&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Note: the mixed violet I use will not produce the most intense violet possible. I have found that a mixture of Ultramarine Light and Quinacridone Magenta makes the most intense violet. I prefer my mixed violet in most cases because it mixes beautifully with other colors without dominating the mixtures. 95% of the time this mixed violet is all I need. If I need a more intense violet, I mix together Ultramarine Light and Quinacridone Magenta.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;Top Row (listed from left to right): (Optional Colors)&lt;br&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
  Titanium Opaque White – Schmincke Horadam Aquarell&lt;br&gt;
  (Middle well is empty – I use this spot for any new colors I’d like to experiment with)&lt;br&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Ivory Black – Winsor &amp;amp; Newton Professional Watercolour&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;All of the paints listed can be purchased online at &lt;a href="https://www.jacksonsart.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Jackson’s Art&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Easel&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Not required for the class, but nice to have when you paint on location. Below is the one I use. To see a detailed description of how I assembled this easel, click this &lt;a href="https://paintwithscott.com/easel" target="_blank"&gt;link.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Other Items : any style or brand is fine&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sponge or Sham-Wow&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Small spray bottle (any brand)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Paper towels (I use Viva Select-a-Size)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Artist tape&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Wax resist – you can use a wax stick, or even a wax candle&lt;/p&gt;

    &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  &lt;/blockquote&gt;

  &lt;p align="left" style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;Remember that these workshops fill up very quickly. When filled, you can join the waiting list.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;h2 align="left"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Waiting List:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;BWS maintains a workshop and program waiting list once the event is filled. If registrants cancel, BWS fills the openings from the waiting list on a first-come, first-served basis. There are often cancellations, so it is worthwhile joining the waiting list.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;BWS adds names to the waiting list according to the date and time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;You can't join a waiting list before registration opens.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Waiting List registrants&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;- Do&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;not&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;send payment until you are informed of an opening and have been sent an invoice. Any check sent before you have been informed you have a spot will be destroyed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;h2 align="left" style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;Cancellations and Refunds:&lt;/h2&gt;

  &lt;p align="left" style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;BWS makes decisions and incurs fixed costs based on the number of initial registrants. Cancellations can affect these costs even if there is a waiting list as people are not always still available. In addition, cancellations incur processing fees and other costs paid by BWS as well as requiring extra time and organizational effort. Refunds for extenuating circumstances are at the discretion of the event coordinator.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;blockquote&gt;
    &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span&gt;From registration date to 60 days prior to the event = 90% refund&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

    &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span&gt;59 days to 21days prior = 75% refund&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

    &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span&gt;20 days to 8 days prior = 50% refund&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

    &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span&gt;7 days or fewer = no refund&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;/blockquote&gt;
