June 13 - 17
Following a degree in Civil Engineering from the
University of Washington, Eric Weigardt graduated
from the famed American Academy of Art in
Chicago where he studied under his mentor,
Irving Shapiro.
Eric has taught his unique painting techniques to
over 3,000 students in the US and internationally.
His book Watercolors Free & Easy has influenced
countless artists along with his newest publication
Essential Design workbook, teaching both
professional and beginning watercolor artists.
Featured in many books on watercolor, Wiegardt
has served as a judge as well as lectured and
taught in the United States and Europe. His
instructional DVD’s have inspired artists around
the globe. Over 3,500 original Wiegardt paintings
are in private and corporate collections.
This workshop is for those who wish to loosen up
in watercolor. Painting techniques and a
philosophy of design will encourage bold, loose
paintings. Lectures will be easily understood and
helpful to all levels of expertise, from beginner to
the professional. There will be ample time for
students to try the concepts presented in a safe
environment.
Eric will do a completed painting demonstration
daily. Subject matter may include landscapes,
marinescapes, florals, streetscapes, interiors, and
still lifes. June 20 thru June 24
Roberta Carter Clark, nationally recognized author
and portrait painter, comes with an incredible
abundance of energy and an extraordinary list of
acclaims and awards. She has worked on the
Advisory Board for the American Artist Magazine
and has juried many national exhibits. She has
published two books on portraiture, How to Paint
Living Portraits, and Painting Vibrant Children’s
Portraits. Her work appears in 16 other books
and magazines including illustrating a series of
children’s books for Scholastic Magazine.
Clark’s workshop students will work directly from
live models posed with props and clothing to
encourage them to create figure paintings with
great color and strong design. With a simple
palette, working wet-into-wet, blending colors on
the paper as well as the palette, a fresh exciting
paint is created each day. Discussions will range
from placement of the figure on the paper, and
achieving a likeness of the facial features, to the
ever-present problem of what to do with the
background!
Roberta will do a demonstration each day and
offer one-on-one help with the aim of
encourageing students to see a myriad of ways
the figure can be interpreted successfully and
imaginatively in a painting.
