Impressions and Expressions! Faces in Watercolor | Alicia Farris

Alicia Farris will share her studies of the human face in this three-day watercolor workshop.  Using Alicia's characteristic loose and colorful style, students will learn techniques to portray not just a likeness, more importantly, the personality and emotion of the human face or subject.  Students will benefit from demonstrations each day as well as individual and group discussion.  This workshop is designed for the painter who has at least a basic command of the watercolor medium, the serious beginner to the advanced student.  Portrait painting is not a prerequisite.  Alicia will work with students individually to help them nurture their own artistic journey.  

Sample photos for the first day will be supplied to all students who register.   Students will have the opportunity to work from supplied photos or their own if they wish, during the workshop.

Paula’s class will meet for a final element & principle of design review, iron out the paraffin wax and make any final enhancements needed. Fee is only the $5.00 studio fee.
