JANUARY 2021 WORKSHOP

January 2021 Workshop with Joel Popadics

Workshop – Creating Mood, Light & Atmosphere in Watercolours

 

With coffee and brushes in hand, brave TWS painters did their best to keep up with the teaching and demonstrations of our first international workshop instructor in quite some time – Joel Popadics.

This workshop explored techniques for capturing the elusive “feeling of light and atmosphere” in watercolour skies, water, trees and rocks. Wet blending, working wet-in-wet, timing, dry brush and brush-work were also demonstrated and discussed. Joel provided numerous tips, observations and advice that will take students watercolour landscape and seascape paintings to a more atmospheric, painterly place.

Many students painted along with the demonstrations and the results were quite amazing. Check out Joel’s finished demonstrations and some of the excellent work of our member students. Wow!
