SUMMARY:AZR - May: Andy Evansen
DESCRIPTION:Please note the change of date to May 1\, 2023. \nAndy Evansen’s focus will be on plein air painting during this month’s AZR event \nAPRIL 20\, 2023: DEADLINE TO SUBMIT PAINTINGS FOR CRITIQUE. If you would like to submit a plein air painting for possible critique\, register right away and find the instructions within the registration confirmation for the event.\nAndy is a Signature Member of AWS\, PAPA\, RRWS\, and TWSA. His recognizable ‘style’ was inspired by the watercolor paintings of British artists Trevor Chamberlain\, David Curtis\, Ed Seago and Edward Wesson\, among others. He found himself attempting to capture the landscape with the same economy of brushstroke\, taking advantage of the luminosity of watercolors done in just a few washes. In addition\, he was impressed with the way those artists seemed to capture everyday scenes in such a way that revealed a hidden beauty\, subjects that many would simply pass by. 

All art lovers are encouraged to register for this special event. \nDon’t miss this special day with one of America’s finest artists and instructors.

SUMMARY:Michael Solovyev Workshop
DESCRIPTION:The Portrait in Watercolor: Light and Dynamic\nCost: $50.00  |   Participants: Limit 50 \nCreating lively\, dynamic portraits using the core potentials of watercolor: transparency\, lightness\, and spontaneity. \nThe first “Workshops International” (online) mini workshop will be taught by artist Michael Solovyev from Montreal\, Canada. Michael is often called a “sunny watercolorist” – his airy\, transparent paintings look as though they emit sunlight. His traditional academic art education\, extensive experience as a theater stage designer\, and his career as an oil painter have informed his current priority as a watercolor artist – the depiction of light. \nMichael will introduce you to the project construction technique that he uses most often – step-by-step and layer-by-layer image construction\, using both dry brush technique and soft transitions. Where to start? How to structure the work correctly? Together\, incrementally\, you will make a complex\, detailed portrait project.

SUMMARY:NWWS May 2023 General Meeting Demonstration with Mark Mehaffey
DESCRIPTION:What a treat we have for you on May 23\, 2023! \nMark Mehaffey\, AWS\, NWS (Dolphin Fellow)\, TWS\, and many other significant professional honors\, will join our general meeting as demo artist. Mark works primarily in watercolor and acrylic\, the “other” media. His work ranges from beautiful watercolor paintings to dynamic abstract work of a personal nature\, often executed on Yupo substrate. He is always a sought after instructor\, juror\, and demonstration artist. \n“During the time I have been painting (more than 50 years) my interest in the act of painting has never waned\,” says Mark in his artist’s statement. “However\, the content of my work and my technical abilities are constantly evolving. This state of change is something that all artists embrace. It is through change that growth occurs. To be timid\, safe\, complacent or overly satisfied does not push the boundaries of creativity.” \nMark is also the author of “Creative Watercolor Workshop” (2005)\, later rereleased as “Creative Watercolor and Acrylic Workshop” (2013). He also created twelve popular instructional videos and has appeared in many publications. He was featured in “Masters of Watercolor” written by Konstantin Sterkhov and “Inspirations & Technical Breakthroughs: Secrets from the Contemporary International Watercolor Masters Volume 1” written by Zhou Tianya & Ruan Hoe. \nMehaffey’s paintings are included in corporate\, public and private collections including Blue Cross Blue Shield and The Arches Paper Co.\, USA. In 2018 he was invited to participate in the International Watercolor Masters Exhibition in Weston Park England. His work is included in permanent collections of transparent watercolors at major institutions such as the Neville Public Museum (WI)\, the Muskegon Museum of Art\, Muskegon (MI)\, and the National Watercolor Museum of Mexico City\, among others. \nJoin us for what will be a memorable evening from one of America’s most respected artists.
