Watercolor can be a bit fussy and “unforgiving” at times, but with a little patience and practice, it can become a favorite medium because of its many advantages. Enjoy a day of painting beautiful fall leaves in watercolor, mastering techniques in layering washes and working in fine details.

Fusco, Liz

Painting and drawing is something I’ve been doing my entire life. I started my art career in high school and took a hiatus after getting married and raising a family. Going back to get my degree was always a goal of mine and as an adult I studied oil painting- both landscape and still life, .and I received my B.F.A. and MA with a NY certification in Art Education. As a teacher and lifelong learner, I am always looking to expand my knowledge. In 2014, I enrolled in the Botanical Certificate program at the New York Botanical Gardens and earned my certificate in
2017. Because of my passion for nature, wildlife and gardening, I began painting flowers and plant life. I really enjoy painting in both oils and watercolor and my subjects almost always include natural objects.
I have been exhibiting my work in local and national shows since 2010 and received awards for honorable mention and The Roth Award for Botanical Distinction at Filoli Gardens annual Botanical Exhibit in San Francisco, California. A recent group exhibit at the Carter Burden
Gallery in New York, had been featured in Fine Arts Connoisseur magazine in July of 2021. I have also had my work featured in other publications as Botanical Artist Journal, The Smithtown News and the TBR Artist Coloring Book published by the Times Beacon Record.
I am currently teaching Watercolor, Drawing and Oil Painting at the Art Leagues of Long Island and also at The Atelier at Flowerfield in St. James and also at the Art Guild in Port Washington.
