Currently Judi Wagner is taking a leave from teaching Watercolor Workshops. She is making plans to join forces with talented artists with similar styles to provide workshops in the future. Please check back as these plans take shape.
Painting out of doors in the teeth of the gale, with your feet among the weeds and the blowing sands may not sound like fun. BUT IT IS! The instructor prides herself in sharing anything that she has learned over 40 years, with a sense of humor and a spontaneity that fosters student enthusiasm. All materials are explained and shown. Next is a lecture/demonstration, hopefully kept to an hour approximately, so that the student painting time can begin. Judi believes that the WORKSHOP IS YOURS, not hers. Staying with this group and helping where needed boosts the confidence of the students and allows a "getting to know" situation.
In the late afternoon, the group comes inside for the critique of the day's work, starting with the instructor and then the students. By using the acetate overlay placed over the paintings, corrections can be SUGGESTED without ever touching the students' works themselves. An overhead mirror allows the group comfortable viewing by seeing the paintings in reverse, a mirror image of your work. It is not a critique of individual work, though each artist prospers, but a discussion of the Principles of Painting.
Testimonials "Thank you for all the effort you put in to helping us with our painting. Truly I learned a great deal, and am looking forward to practicing all these new things... Watching you, seeing the gear you use, and trying to follow your techniques was most helpful." "I can't begin to thank you for such a wonderful workshop week! Your zest for painting is infectious... I do believe that new friendships were forged last week." |
