Creative Journey by Painting in Series
2021-01-13 19:00 - 2021-03-24 21:00 (America/New_York) | IMG_2588
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.
Each 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.

● Homework for each week is to do a minimum of two paintings. Recommended size is not smaller than 1/2 sheet
● 2nd to 9th day is critique of paintings done at home followed by a lecture that sets the direction for next week’s paintings
● In the interest of time, one can send photos of their paintings ahead of time for the critique
● 10th day is a look at everyone’s full set of paintings to see the journey from day 1 through 10. This is an exciting day!

Presentation by Jason Skill: "Bright Sunlight - the Sargent Way"
2021-04-10 13:30 - 15:00 UTC | IMG_2588
‘ Bright sunlight – the Sargent way’

This 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.

Register for the 1st NWS Abstract and Experimental Watercolor Show
2021-05-01
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.
Deadline: May 1st, 2021
Artists will be notified by May 15, 2021 There will be an online reception via Zoom in June

Plein Aire at the Codman Estate, 34 Codman Rd, Lincoln MA – “The Grange”
Thursday September 23rd, 10 AM – 12:30
Hosted by Cathy Manwaring.
Please text me by the night before so I know you are coming.
Park at the Estate (the entrance nearer to Rt 126, lot on the left) not further down the road at the Farm. Entrance is marked by a small hanging sign. I will have my phone on so call as needed.
We will meet in the parking lot. There is a bathroom at the Community Farm barn/store (just inside, second door on the left). Vegetables, eggs etc. are for sale in the barn – quite a nice little farm store. Store can be reached via dirt road from Estate, a lovely short walk. Folks can also paint at the Farm if they prefer. At the two-hour mark we will reconvene to share our work. Bring a picnic lunch if you are so inclined.
The Codman Estate never fails to please. There is a turn of the century Italian garden behind the 1740s mansion with a gazing pond filled with lily pads and frogs, plus statuary and lovely plantings. Further down from the mansion there is a carriage house with a fenced in rose arbor garden (c. 1930s) in behind and acres of walled fields in front. There are tree lined paths and a short walk away (5 minutes) a working farm with lovely old white barns, chickens, pigs and a thriving farm store. If you are lucky the big brown bulls will be out in the fields, and behind the estate there is a large pen with llamas. Something for everyone!
DIRECTIONS
From Route I-95/Route 128, take Route 2 West 4.5 miles to Route 126 East past Walden Pond. Take the third left on Codman Road. Codman Estate is 0.5 miles on the left.
From the East I prefer coming in along Rt. 117 and turning right onto Rt. 126 at the lights, then right again onto Codman road at the small triangle. Estate entrance is a half mile or so down on your left, marked in red below.

Online Workshop: The Power of a Limited Palette with Brienne M Brown
2021-11-15 15:00 - 2021-11-19 18:00 (America/New_York) | IMG_2588
This is a 3 day workshop, Monday, Wednesday and Friday, 3 hours per day, November 15 + 17 + 19, 2021, 3:00pm – 6:00pm
The way to learn color confidence, build a personalized palette, and use the full power of color is to start simple and build as you gain experience. Painting with a limited palette is a great way to do this. During this 3-Day Online Workshop, Brienne will teach you the power of a limited palette, explain some important color theory concepts, and give you tips on color mixing with watercolor. The workshop will be from 3:00 – 6:00 pm (Eastern Standard Time) on each day. Brienne will give instruction and demonstrations about using a limited palette of colors. She will then assign independent work for you to turn-in after the first and second workshop days. Brienne will conduct group critiques online for feedback and then end the workshop with more demonstrations and answer any questions students have.
This course is meant for the serious beginner to intermediate artist. Participants should have a good grasp on how to use watercolor, basic drawing skills, and a good understanding of values. The focus of this course is understanding color and how to use it to your advantage as a watercolor artist.
All LIVE Zoom Sessions will be recorded and up for you to review by the end of each meeting day. This will give you time to review anything you might have missed for whatever reason. Also, you will get access to watch these videos for 30-days after the end of the workshop.
$220 for the members and $270 for non-members. The workshop is limited to 16 participants.

Plein Air @ Home with Linda Rinearson - Painting Yorkshire
2021-12-11 13:30 - 17:00 (America/New_York) | IMG_2588
Come join us on Saturday December 11th when NWS member Linda Rinearson will talk about painting in Yorkshire, England from her second home in Harrogate, UK. Linda spends about six months of the year in the UK, mostly in Yorkshire, which is her favorite location to paint. As it turns out David Hockney was born and raised in Yorkshire so we’ll also look at some of his watercolors from his book “A Yorkshire Sketchbook“.
Linda will present a couple pieces that she created in Yorkshire. She’ll talk about the history and nature of the location, any challenges, and why she selected these places to paint. She’ll also show the different techniques she uses as she paints the classic Yorkshire Landscape.
Then Linda will share some of her photos of Yorkshire. You can use these photos as possible subjects and paint the Yorkshire scenes or go outside wherever you are and do a local plein air painting. Then we will all get together at 4:00 EST to discuss our paintings.
A link to Linda’s photos was sent in the email announcement.
