Watercolor Workshops

Painting Loosely with Eric Wiegardt, AWS, NWS

Eric Wiegardt, AWS, NWS, nationally recognized judge, juror, and award winner, has left an indelible mark on the American art scene with more than 20 years of professional painting and teaching experience. He is the author of the North Light book Watercolor Free & Easy and is featured in many books along with articles in Watercolor Magazine, International Artist Magazine, Watercolor Magic Magazine, and as a cover artist for The Artist’s Magazine. Eric is a graduate of the American Academy of Art in Chicago.

This is a workshop for those who wish to loosen up in watercolor. Painting techniques and a philosophy of design will encourage bold, loose paintings.

The instructor believes most painting problems are the violation of an elementary painting principle. 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.

The instructor will do a completed painting demonstration daily. Subject matter may include landscapes, marinescapes, florals, streetscapes, interiors, and still lives. Weather permitting, some plein-air painting may be incorporated.
