SUMMARY:Register for the 1st NWS Abstract and Experimental Watercolor Show
DESCRIPTION:Abstract art uses the same basic tools as traditional art – shape\, color\, and value to paint a composition which is not strictly representational or realistic. The departure from accurate representation can be partial or complete. Artwork which takes liberties by altering color or shape in conspicuous ways can be said to be partially abstract or an abstraction. Total abstraction bears no trace of the recognizable. The artist’s imagination plays a bigger role in these non-representational paintings. Abstract art can be interpreted by different viewers in different ways and thus involves the viewer more directly as a participant. \nDeadline: May 1st\, 2021\nArtists will be notified by May 15\, 2021 There will be an online reception via Zoom in June \nJudge: James Varnum https://www.jcvarnumart.com  James C Varnum\, exhibitions chair of the Newton Art Association\, is an experimental painter working in watercolor\, alcohol inks\, and liquid graphite.

SUMMARY:Presentation by Jason Skill: "Bright Sunlight - the Sargent Way"
DESCRIPTION:‘ Bright sunlight – the Sargent way’ \n\nThis Zoom demonstration from the British watercolor  artist and teacher Jason Skill\, is a must for any fans of John Singer Sargent.  Thought by many to be one of the greatest watercolour painters in history\, Sargent  is famous for his ability to captured the look and feel of bright sunlight in spontaneous\, vigorous artworks.  Notoriously difficult to imitate\, Sargents methods have proved  baffling to most watercolourists… until now.  Jason\, believes he has unlocked the core approaches to colour and paint used by the master\,  which he will be sharing with you at this session.  The demonstration will focus of the creation of a painting\, made in the Sargent style\, while Jason explains \,stage by stage\, the reasoning behind his methods which are based on years of study and extensive experimentation. This promises to be an eye opening  event.

SUMMARY:Creative Journey by Painting in Series
DESCRIPTION:In this workshop\, you will come to understand the elements of design (line\, size\, shape\, color\, value\, texture) and composition through painting in series.  Painting the same subject for the duration of this workshop and taking the challenges each week will force you out of your comfort zone into making a personal statement with your artwork. \nEach class will consist of two parts: a lecture on the elements of design or a watercolor technique and a friendly critique. After a few paintings\, a familiarity with the subject develops and the artist is able to look beyond it and explore the design elements. You will be encouraged to experiment with different papers such as Yupo paper\, and different techniques such as under-paintings\, collages and pouring. \nDetails:\n● 10 Wednesday 7pm – 9pm\, starting January 13\, 2021\n● No class on 2/17/2021\n● Last class Wednesday March 24\, 2021\n● Online class with Zoom\n● Workshop Fee: $100 per person; Limited to 20-25 participants; accepted in sequence of sign up; sign-up only by snail mail including application and check \nOutline:\n● First day is a 30 minute lecture followed by everyone doing value sketches. For critique\, we will look at everyone’s value sketches. You will choose your subject that you will paint for the remainder of the class.\n● Homework for each week is to do a minimum of two paintings. Recommended size is not smaller than 1/2 sheet\n● 2nd to 9th day is critique of paintings done at home followed by a lecture that sets the direction for next week’s paintings\n● In the interest of time\, one can send photos of their paintings ahead of time for the critique\n● 10th day is a look at everyone’s full set of paintings to see the journey from day 1 through 10.

SUMMARY:Painting Waterscapes: Sparkle and Shine
DESCRIPTION:Host: Nancy DuVergne Smith \nWater is a tantalizing subject for artists. We are drawn intuitively to bodies of water\, yet it is an elusive substance\, at times transparent\, translucent\, reflective\, or fractured. We’ll examine various water surfaces and then pay particular attention to the characteristics of calm\, undulating bodies of water and the sparkles of light reflected from streams. \nFor more\, visit Nancy’s website.

SUMMARY:Artist Demo: Poppy Balser
DESCRIPTION:We are very happy to host a live demo with the Canadian artist Poppy Balser. \n \nFrom her website: \nPoppy Balser has always had her home within walking distance of the ocean\, mostly the Bay of Fundy. She paints out of doors through all seasons\, finding her inspiration in the local seacoast and landscapes surrounding her Nova Scotia home. \n“ I feel so fortunate to live near the shore of the Bay of Fundy\, an area with great natural beauty. With huge tides that sculpt our seacoast\, dramatic waves and haunting fog\, there is always something new to paint. I paint en plein air as often as possible. This practice enables me to observe my subjects over time so I can create paintings that resonate strongly with the viewer.” \nBalser uses this experience painting outside and participates in multiple plein air festivals each year. Poppy Balser’s works have won multiple awards. Her paintings are available either directly from the artist or through one of several Nova Scotian art galleries.
