Afraid of Watercolours? Don't Be! Let Abaco-based artist Brigitte Bowyer Carey show you how to make this medium less temperamental!

From choosing subject matter, to using your camera for information gathering, through drawing and value studies, this seasoned teacher explains the steps she takes to make this fascinating medium more predictable. She'll take you by the hand and show you the way to luminous, rich watercolour paintings. There are two teacher demonstrations daily and lots of individual attention.

Among other instruction, the following is included:
? How to take advantage of the Principals and Elements of Design
? Subject matter and elimination of non-essential information
? The art of information drawing and how to make a colour sketch
? The value sketch and its importance
? The importance of emotional involvement

Workshop cost is $225 and add $10.00 per day for lunch at the Cafe. Twenty spaces are available. Please reserve your space by emailing: ivy.elden@yahoo.com.
