2016 Schedule of Classes
TRANSLUCENT WATERCOLOR PORTRAITS
OVERVIEW // Join me in this 3-day watercolor workshop focusing on translucent watercolor portraits. Known for her patient teaching methods, watch Jeannie as she demonstrates her rhythmic wet-on-dry, wet into wet, and glazing approach to watercolor using a limited palette of transparent staining colors.
If you are new to portraits, you will be entering a great new adventure! If you’re experienced in painting faces and figures, you will enjoy learning and watching Jeannie’s transparent limited palette techniques.
Jeannie will give plenty of demonstrations and instruction. She will bring photos that you can work from or you can bring your own. You may draw out your portrait ahead of time, freehand draw, trace, or project your own image. This workshop will include watercolor demonstrations, plenty of painting time, individual coaching, and gentle critiques. Artists will gain skill in watercolor techniques, the use of a limited palette, ways to see and paint light and color, and techniques to heighten color.
Enjoy the fun and rewarding challenges presented by painting watercolor portraits!

We will be exploring all aspects of painting a portrait, from the features of the face, to translucent skin, to hair and background. Jeannie will show you how she uses her limited palette, moving from color to color in layers of transparent color.
Beginning students can practice painting eyes and basic watercolor exercises and use Jeannie’s drawing. Intermediate and advanced students can bring their own photo references and drawing.
Jeannie will do watercolor demonstrations throughout the three days and will give individual attention to all students and all skill levels.
Additionally, students who would prefer to paint another subject matter, such as an animal or flower are welcome to attend class.
During the class you will learn about creating the illusion of volume, about reflected light, and enhancing color to create a luminescent glow.
