Jan Guarino presents Fearless Watercolors in Amelia Island

February 27 @ 10:00 am - February 28 @ 3:00 pm

Cost:

250$ – 300$

I was once you … seeking and searching for teachers, classes, workshops, dvds, books, magazines, on-line sites – anyone, anywhere to help me find myself in this incredible medium. I wanted to learn whatever I could to advance my art. Sometimes I was elated on what happened in a class, but mostly it lead to disappointment – BUT there were pearls worthy of holding onto and integrating into my work.

It was from that very frustration I created my classes – based on what I needed as a student and didn’t get. I took the very best of these opportunities and created my workshops and classes – with an array of techniques in painting in watercolors and as an instructor as well.

You may not know me, but I know you. As a student I understand what you wish to get from a workshop and as a teacher I know how to deliver it. I welcome you join me on an amazing 2 day workshop that will be filled with the best of the best. It will be tangible and is meant to be adaptable to enhance your own work.

This program is a culmination of techniques I’ve discovered and practice in every class and workshop:
• Basic supply setup
• Color Wheel – how to use analogous and complimentary colors
• Learn why you get muddy paintings
• Color Temperature – light, warmth, cool & shadows
• 2 Magic Ingredients – learn the intelligence of watercolors
• Soft & Hard Edges – where and why
• Develop your Impact Area
• Easy Composition
• Correction Techniques
• Embrace Blossoms, Drips & Splatters . . . and more
all while painting beautiful male and female cardinals & sailboats with sky, land and water.
