SUMMARY:WORKSHOPS INTERNATIONAL - Anders Andersson
DESCRIPTION:REGISTRATION BEGINS JULY 1\, 2026\nWORKSHOP: AUGUST 8\, 2026 FROM 10:00 am – 1:00 pm (Pacific) \nGood news for WA STATE RESIDENTS: Beginning July 1\, no sales tax will be charged on your workshop purchase. WA state has changed its policy. Those living outside WA state are not charged sales tax. \nAnders Andersson is a member of The Nordic Watercolour Association. His work is exhibited in national shows and in Europe. Learning from the best masters and developing his own style has made his paintings attractive to collectors. Anders loves to share his experience and is top rated on YouTube with several clips. He lives in Husqvarna\, Sweden. \n“How is it that one gets stuck on watercolour painting? For me it’s about curiosity and an exciting journey through chaos and order. The colour hue\, the paper\, the moisture in the brush\, the individual character of each colour and your own state of mind make the watercolour so direct. You are always just a few brush strokes away from merely a flat muddy mess with no interest. Sometimes the colour seems to blend in a chaotic way. During the drying process the character changes with every second. Experiment by combining Ultramarine and Burnt Umber together. Sit an enjoy the drama that unfolds on the paper while this mixture dries. That’s how you get stuck on watercolour painting.” \nJoin us for a terrific workshop and let Anders help you get stuck on watercolor and unstuck in all the ways to make it come to life. \nSupply List

SUMMARY:SEPTEMBER 2026 GENERAL MEETING DEMONSTRATION WITH DONGFENG LI
DESCRIPTION:START TIME: 6:00 (Pacific time)\nJoin us on Sept 22 as we welcome award-winning watercolorist and occasional oil painter\, Dongfeng Li\, to our general meeting as the demo artist. \nBorn in China\, Li’s creative journey began early. In elementary and middle school\, he was already captivated by drawing. He sharpened his skills through high school by working on propaganda posters before turning his focus toward portraiture. \nIn 1992\, he moved to the U.S and earned two Master’s degrees. For more than two decades\, he was an instructor at Morehouse State University (KY)\, guiding countless artists while continuing to grow his own voice in his work. \nDongfeng Li’s watercolors have been exhibited widely\, including prestigious venues such as National Watercolor Society shows\, American Watercolor Society exhibitions\, and the Transparent Watercolor Society of America. While his recent focus leans toward landscapes\, his true passion is portraiture. In 2010\, his grant project titled “Cat’s Cradle” explored cultural connections and differences between people in eastern Kentucky and China. To tell that story\, he painted coal miners from both regions\, using faces and environments to reveal shared human threads. Says Li: “I like to share my experience and views with all people\, not only my students\, but I like to talk and communicate with all people. That’s where my inspiration comes from.” \nTogether we will see how he transforms a portrait into a sensitively textured masterpiece—rich with mood\, detail\, and emotion. It will be an enlightening experience to see his technique come alive as he shares with NWWS.
