Understanding color is the key to successful painting. But for some people it is very complicated. Let’s make it simple! We will break down the color wheel, understand the concept of “warm” and “cool” colors and learn how to create commonly used colors and neutrals. Students will gain a real understanding of color mixing working from a limited palette.

 

Students will paint a color wheel and some color charts to bring home. If time allows we will have some fun mixing some pigments to take home

 

All work will be done in watercolor.

  • Supplies:

    Arches watercolor cold press paper

    H, HB, 2H pencils and kneaded eraser

    watercolor paintbrush- round size 4, 6 or 8

    2 containers for water

    paper towels

    palette for paint (preferably one that closes)

     

    Paints in the following colors: (Preferably Winsor & Newton, I use tube paints but pans are fine)

    Cadmium yellow

    lemon yellow

    ultramarine blue

    Prussian blue

    Permanent Rose

    Scarlet Lake

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.
