ANN      LINDSAY

WATERCOLOR     WORKSHOPS

[Complete Workshop Schedule]

 

             Based on the ground-breaking course published in her book Watercolor: A New Beginning: A Holistic approach to Painting Ann Lindsay's Beginning Watercolor Workshops provide a safe, relaxed and enjoyable place to begin and continue to paint in watercolor.

            The purpose of these workshops is to help you break through your artistic fears and inhibitions and begin to experience the process and possibilities of watercolor painting. Ann will help you take fear and judgment out of the process, allowing you to re-awaken the unfettered creative spirit of childhood as you discover the joy of painting in watercolor. Basic techniques are presented and an immense amount of learning takes place in an experiential and playful way.

             Intermediate and advanced intermediate students can always count on supportive independent instruction in any of the workshops.

Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain    
       FULL         June 23-27, 2008            Grafton, New York

        In response to requests by many of my students I am once again offering “Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain.”  Using Dr. Betty Edwards book Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain as our text,  we will learn the basic strategies of seeing that will enable us to draw our perceptions clearly and accurately. We will learn to “turn off” the dominant left hemisphere which interferes with drawing because of what it knows, and “turn on” the non-dominant right hemisphere that “sees clearly” and  has no problem drawing. You will learn a set of “tools” that will serve you well in all future drawing experiences. It is great fun in addition to being absolutely amazing!  No previous art experience is necessary!

 

Watercolor Landscape
August 18-22, 2008      5 days     Grafton, New York

Our yearning to connect with our world and express its beauty is natural and vital. Painting the landscape in watercolor offers us a way to feel that connection and experience our place in the world. It also gives us a wonderful way to enrich our vacations and travels. Sitting and painting a little watercolor in a place internalizes our experience of being there and brings it back to us like no photograph can do.

        This workshop is recommended for painters who want to begin (or continue) painting the landscape in watercolor. Working from your own photographs & sketches, or the workshop reference file, we will explore  values, value studies, a few basic composition ideas, skies, foregrounds, brushwork, perspective, sighting angles and much more. (Beginning and Intermediate.) Intermediate students are encouraged to review and build on their knowledge-expanding their skills and work independently from your own reference material.
