The Market in Watercolor with Jan Heaton

Tues-Fri, July 20-23 | 9am-4pm

Tuition: $610

All levels of experience with watercolor welcome.

Concept

Inspired by Jan Heaton's ongoing study of locally grown produce, this workshop explores subject matter from farmers' markets and farms. Observe vegetables, fruits, and flowers with a new perspective. Capture not only what you observe, but also how you react, as you interpret the forms with watercolor. Learn to simplify and abstract subject matter, and record the essence with minimal marks.

Experience

Demonstrations, one-on-one instruction, and sharing what you have created provide the foundation for your exploration. Develop various approaches to the invention of personal color choices and imagery to stretch your preconceived notions of these elements and their initial meaning.

Instructor

A professional watercolorist, Jan Heaton's paintings celebrate nature; abstractly reaching beyond the obvious. Her artwork is represented by galleries in Austin, Columbus, San Antonio, San Francisco, Seattle, Boston, and Atlanta. In the classroom, Jan believes all students are individuals with their own personal library of talent and inspiration. Her teaching methods are formed by the fact that everyone learns and makes art in their own way.
