Caroline Buchanan

The Figure in Watercolor

Dates: January 19-20, February 16-17, March 15-16, April 12-13
Times: Saturdays, 10:00am – 4:00pm and Sundays, 9:30 am – 3:30 pm


Go to Caroline's page to see more information on each workshop.

Location: ArtWorks, 2nd and Dayton, Edmonds, WA. Bring lunch.
Price: $500 for the series with a deposit of $200 to hold your place. Individual weekends are $150, if space is available. Note there is a savings in the series price that gives you, in effect, one weekend for free.

This series falls on the 3rd weekend of each month (until April) and explores the figure in watercolor with a variety of approaches. The classes build on previous ones, even though each is self-contained. In past years, we have seen great growth in those able to take all of the classes. There is a very supportive atmosphere within the class and since we "own" the building for the weekend, we are able to spread out and to leave our things on Saturday. Note the earlier time on Sunday. This allows those rushing to ferries to have a bit more time.

Some drawing would be helpful, but not imperative.

Midway through the workshop there is a slide presentation reinforcing pastel technique.Working with models, students will explore drawing, composition, anatomy, proportion, value, color, and pastel application. Emphasis will be on developing form using light and shadow.

Classes are limited to a maximum of 18 students to provide comprehensive individual attention .
