Learn how to create loose, moving, and evocative watercolor paintings with free and generous brush strokes. During this workshop, beginner to advanced level painters are invited to try out a variety of watercolor painting strategies and techniques to create loose, intuitive, free, and spontaneous effects. You will learn about color mixing, glazes, composition, drying time, thickness, and lost and found edges, while painting short, warm-up sketches as well as finished landscape, cityscape, and/or waterscape paintings. This style of painting will move you out of your comfort zone.
Workshop sessions start with a demonstration painting, followed by a short instruction session, and then time for participants to work on their own paintings with individual attention and feedback. At the end of the painting session the group will gather for a positive and encouraging critique, typically filled with laughter and fun. After a lunch break, the afternoon sessions follow the same format.
This is not to say Griggs doesn’t plan his paintings in advance. He does. He might work up a painting in his sketchbooks over several days, planning the placement, light, color, perspective and special elements. He often does a couple of “trial” paintings before completing the final piece. The three words Griggs most often hears, relative to his work, are loose, moving, and evocative.
