The Bluegrass Painter

Garrett County Watercolor Workshop

I'm in the process of preparing for our upcoming workshop at the Discovery Center in Deep Creek Lake State Park. The dates are November 9, 10 and 11. I always enjoy these workshops. Garrett County, MD is a hotbed for the arts and the enthusiasm of this group is always stimulating and contagious.

One of our exercises is to create a painting using only three colors. I've been trying to get a head start by creating some examples to show to the group. I'm posting them here for a preview for the group and for anyone else interested. This first one uses Burnt Sienna, Ultramarine Blue and Raw Sienna. I titled it Farm on Cook School Road.

The second painting uses the colors Cobalt Blue, Cadmium Yellow and Alizarin. I called it Fence Line and it portrays the same farm as above.

One other that I prepared is the Old Presque Isle Light and it employs Burnt Sienna, Raw Sienna and Payne's Gray.

 
 

Upcoming Watercolor Workshops

I posted a few weeks about about my upcoming watercolor workshop to be held March 27 and April 3rd at the Garrett College Northern Outreach Center in Grantsville.  I'm also looking forward to holding one for PATH again this year in Addison at the end of April and early May.  Petunia will soon post details on the new  Calendar of Events page.    Stay tuned as I'm working on scheduling one for some time this summer on Deep Creek Lake.  I'll post details as soon as they become available.
