ARTS: ANNOUNCEMENTS BIRGIT O’CONNOR WATER COLOR WORKSHOPS at Lewiston Community Center (Texas Avenue) September 9-13, 2009 9am-4pm all days. SEPT 9-11 (3 days): Up Close and Personal Flowers. Birgit shares her techniques and color combinations with a variety of different flowers; you will learn how to interpret a flower without adding every detail. Learn how to control water and color to create large smooth washes in the petals, and how to make a painting more dramatic with backgrounds. Add the illusion of dimension. Compositions include Azaleas, Rhododendron, Matilija Poppy, Red Tulips (among others, if time permits). Demonstrations will be throughout workshop; work with sketches Birgit provides or bring your own reference materials. SEPT 12-13 (2 days): Atmospheric Landscapes. Many people feel frustrated when trying to paint with watercolor. This class teaches you how to simplify what you are seeing. Be free, have fun—explore and express yourself by letting go of the frustration of trying to be in control or to create the perfect painting. You’ll learn about paper, brushes, how much water to use, moving color, layering, and shape. Birgit will provide sketches so you can practice the basics while becoming familiar with the movement of the washes. Get ready to loosen up, let go, and blend color to create atmospheric skies with minimal landscapes. BIO: Birgit O’Connor, Watercolor Artist and Instructor. “I am a self-taught artist, inspired by stories of my family. I thought it would not be possible to be a recognized woman artist.

She is an accomplished and popular instructor and gives watercolor workshops across U.S., including at Cheap Joe’s Workshop Festival in Boone, NC. She has written two excellent books (with DVDs): Watercolor in Motion (2008) and Watercolor Essentials (2009). REGISTER: Call 415-868-0105 or register online.
