In this powerful workshop, Ken Hosmer reveals ‘color secrets’ and design ideas each day. He offers guidelines which encourage your creative interpretation of painting ideas. Painting demonstrations stress free flowing watercolor and include a variety of subjects, including landscape, flowers, human figures or animals. Hosmer has a special gift for clearly explaining his artistic method as he paints. As a devoted teacher, he organizes ideas into simple terms and offers plenty of personal help and encouragement, making the class ideal for beginning and advanced students. A typical day includes presentation of new ideas and demonstration in the morning with class work time and individual help in the afternoon. The workshop ends with an uplifting and informative critique session.
