SUMMARY:Paint a Misty Mountain Workshop in Watercolor
DESCRIPTION:Learn the steps to paint beautiful mountains receding into the distance in watercolor. No drawing experience is necessary\, but you will need to make a simple\, light sketch onto proper watercolor paper before painting. Instructor will explain and demonstrate each stage to help you complete this painting. Just a few colors and a few brushes\, particularly large flat ones (plus other basic watercolor supplies) are needed to paint this motif\, but if you don’t have large brushes\, we can share. Material list available upon registration. \nBivenne Harvey Staiger is known for her colorful\, dramatic watercolors of natural motifs she loves\, like birds\, other animals and flowers\, and is the recipient of many prestigious awards.  Among the most recent is the Silver Medal from the American Watercolor Society’s 152nd International Exhibition (2019).  She is professionally affiliated with many art groups\, including but not limited to the Salmagundi Club\, American Artists’ Professional League\, Academic Artists Association\, Connecticut Academy of Fine Artists\, Connecticut Watercolor Society\, and many others.  Bivenne regularly gives instruction\, demonstrations and workshops in watercolor\, and in fact has an upcoming weekend workshop\, focusing on painting flowers in watercolor\, at Yale Peabody Museum in August.  At least two major solo exhibitions and a few group exhibitions featuring her work\, including Spectrum Gallery in Centerbrook\, Connecticut\, are scheduled for the end of this year and next. \nDate: Saturday\, October 18 \nTime: 12:30 PM – 4:00 PM \nCost: $100 per person
