Lucie is well known for her watercolor work, and she will share her expertise in this special workshop/demonstration at her home studio. She has been painting using watercolors since 1997. Her formal training is in Surface Pattern design, which led to 15 years of designing dinnerware. She was raised and still lives in a part of the state that has an abundance of rolling hills, dairy farms, woods, fields, wildflowers and trees; their presence influences her daily life and painting. Lucie will focus on wet on wet technique in this workshop
This is the 7th event in OFD’s series Today’s Studio Artists.
Description
Lucie will guide participants through the steps of painting a loosly-representative portrait in watercolor from a reference photo (no model).
What to bring
- Slippers or comfortable indoor shoes
The studio has cherry floors - Reference photo of a person
The head and face should mostly fill the page, much like an ID photo. Please bring 3 or more 8.5×11″ cheap paper copies of the reference photo, so we can draw on it to find shapes, shadows, and highlights, fold them, cut them up. - Supplies
If this is a brand-new experience for you, and you don’t want to purchase new supplies, there will be some supplies on hand to borrow.
