Once again I traveled to the Heyde Center for the Arts to take another three-day Allan Servoss workshop, this time in watercolor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

His watercolor work is amazing, and I left with a better understanding of design and color as well as a creative process that feels refreshing and, well, creative. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He had five main lessons with paintings that got progressively more challenging. We moved from brushwork to shape to negative painting, the entire time discussing color choices, paper, brushes, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notice the turtle in the painting above? I couldn\u2019t help adding it. I could see a turtle so there it is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The painting below of the ravine ended up being the one I did quite a bit of work on when I got home, and as a result, it looks as much like a drawing as a painting. I gave in and tuned to watercolor pencils for the details that I just had to add\u2014tree trunks and roots and more trees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also had a chance to try painting on a varnished, textured surface. The paint sticks in a different manner, more like Yupo. For this project, we did our own designs, and I ended up with birds and a busy background. No surprise there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a great workshop, and I am once again fascinated with watercolor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
