Destination Unknown - Watercolor Workshop
WORKSHOP – Morro Bay Art Association is proud to present a workshop in watercolors with artist Virginia Mack Class description: Are you a watercolorist? Do you have basic watercolor skills? In this series of classes, we will use watercolors as a medium for exploration. We will explore what we can do with color, texture, line, and light. We will also explore the effects of watercolors when mixed with other media. The goal is to discover new, and satisfying, directions in your use of this compelling medium. Subject matter: organic materials: sticks, plants, vegetables, Landscapes with pathways, Seascapes with rocks, Perhaps a bird or two About Instructor: I am a native Californian. I grew up in the SF Bay Area. I have been painting since I was 4 years old. I have worked extensively in all painting media and in Stained Glass. I taught Art for many years in the Bay Area before moving to the Central Coast. I have been exploring and savoring the natural areas of the state throughout my life. I have been living on the Central Coast for 20 years. I was a part-time instructor at Cuesta College and Allan Hancock College in the Fine Arts departments: I taught studio arts, Art History, and Art Appreciation. I love to explore all parts of the county seeking subject matter for paintings. In recent years that exploration included Kayak journeys out onto the bay. I have developed many pieces based on studies I initiated from my kayak (“Kayak-view”). I work primarily in watercolors and am a colorist at heart. My series of bird studies, each done within 2 minutes, before the bird flies, swims, or walks away and my studio pieces based on my explorations of my yard (during Covid stay-at-home) and the county are my primary subjects at present. In my most recent work, I have been working with the relationship between birds and their environments as reflected through various art media. I received my education in fine arts at the University of California, Berkeley and California College of Arts and Crafts COST: $120.00 Members; $135.00 Non-Members for the 4 day workshop ****Basic Materials are available.
