Description

First day: I will go over materials and then we will paint the chicks painting step by step. I am compiling a directional handout  that each student will have starting with the transferring of the drawing to the final painting. The process will include several watercolor techniques ranging from wet into wet, glazing, and brush work. I will also be covering the significance of gray. Yellow is one of the most difficult colors to gray or to achieve the correct color balance for the shadows. We will be mixing and layering colors to see what works best.
 
Second day: We will start with a quick landscape of thumb butte. Then I will demonstrate painting a white flower. The students will have the reference for the white rose and already have it drawn. We will spend the rest of the day working on this painting.
 
Third day: We will continue the process of painting the white rose and work on the background  possibilities. Many of the techniques used in watercolor will have been touched on; including layering transparent washes, negative painting, wet into wet, dry brush and many of the techniques used for texture.

Instructor

Caroline Linscott started painting with watercolors at the Sedona Art Barn taking classes with Adele Earnshaw. That was over twenty years ago. Watercolor painting has led her to many places she would not have otherwise been able to go.

After moving to San Juan Capistrano, CA, in 1990, she was juried into the Laguna Beach Summer shows' first Art-A-Fair and then The Festival of Arts. She opened her Studio-Gallery in San Juan Capistrano in the historic Los Rios District. There she sold her work as well as other local artists' works. She started teaching what she had learned to other artists, both to adults and children.

Caroline also wanted to promote the arts and she joined Women Artists of the West where she has served as President for two years. The International WOAW show was held in San Juan Capistrano for two years. During this time she was asked by Walter Foster to author a how to watercolor book. Also Rockport Publishers contacted her to compile a wester artist book, "Art of the American West."

Caroline also worked for Bernard Cappelli Fragrance Co. doing art for their packaging. Her work was picked up by a publisher in New York and several of her images were published and distributed throughout the USA. Her works have been accepted in several International Juried Watercolor shows including San Diego Watercolor Society and Watercolor USA.

Painting in watercolor offers many different approaches through a wide range of techniques. Caroline describes her art journey as like being on an escalator always taking you to the next level, growing and learning to see; then experiment to find just the right approach to achieve the desired outcome. She moved back to Arizona in 2003 and presently lives in Prescott.
