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.  

Dates: June 18, 19, and 20th, 2025

Times: 9-3:30pm

Fee: $290 for 3-day workshop. Fee includes Studio fee.

Please contact Alicia to register or with questions through her website: www.afarris.com or email abfarris81@gmail.com. Class size will be limited.
