Ken Call Workshop

By WFWS, Workshops

The Ken Call Workshop at WFWS50 in Lubbock, Texas, has Open Spaces!

 

In case you have been delaying signing up, now is the time. April 9, 10, 11. This is a great opportunity to learn watercolor techniques from an expert. He even gives you the option of doing landscapes on Day 1.

Class Description

The Enlightened Brush

Ken Call shares his passion for portraits and figures in his unique watercolor style. Learn how he takes advantage of their ability to convey a mood, be spontaneous and still have the needed tightness to capture the proper likeness. Come and learn to paint dynamic, colorful, figures and portraits under the guidance of an accomplished expert. Based on an intimate dance of light and color, Ken will show you how to bring your paintings to life while using your own personal vision and experiences. Comprehensive portrait and figure painting will be featured in a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. You will have the opportunity to work with your own personal favorite subject matter as well as reference photos provided by the instructor.

There will be daily demos and plenty of one-on-one instruction for all who desire. Ken will in addition make available to the class his reference to paint from if they so desire. At the end of each day, you will have the opportunity to share your work with Ken and the class for review and discussion.  You are encouraged to bring several samples of your work to share with Ken for feedback.

Day 1 Instructor demo and students paint their choice of any subject (landscape, portrait, etc)
Day 2 Instructor demo and focus on portraits or figures — (Ken provides reference photo)
Day 3 Instructor demo and focus on portrait and figures— (participants bring their own pre drawn photo reference)

Check out his website here. Or search Youtube for a few videos other societies have posted of his demos.

Go sign up on the WTWS website or contact Cecilia at 806-778-2289

The price for the workshop is $350.

Attention: Chris Stubbs Workshop Attendees. Request for Information

By Annual Workshop, Workshops

Hello IWS Membership—specifically those who attended the Chris Stubbs workshop at the Riverside Hotel in June:

I gave several of you hot-pressed and cold-pressed pages from two blocks of watercolor paper generously donated to us by Michael Marchetta of Jerry’s Artarama.

I asked that those of you to whom I gave the paper relate back to me how you rate the quality of the paper.

If you have used the paper, I’d appreciate hearing how you liked it so I can report back to Michael.  If you have not yet used it, no worries, but when you do I’d like to hear about it.

Our responses to Michael and Jerry’s Artarama will influence his/their interest in working with our society positively, and his generosity deserves our attention.

Thanks very much, that’s all for now!

Be well and keep those brushes damp,

Scott

Audio-Visual Technology for IWS Workshops

By Workshops

If you have attended an IWS workshop any time during the past few years, you know we use a video camera, linked to either a projector or a TV set, to make the instructor’s actions more visible to the class. We have used a small SONY camcorder and are now using a GoPro 11 video camera to observe the lessons.

Right now, I am the only person acquainted with the camera and able to set it up for workshop use. I would like to meet with several other IWS members who would be interested in learning how to operate the camera and to set it up in the workshop area. By sharing this information, we can make sure that there is always someone available to help with any given activity.

If you take frequent workshops, this would be a perfect way to become more involved in assisting with IWS activities. Please let me know if you are interested in learning more about the GoPro and how we utilize it to enhance the workshops. I would like to set up one or two meetings between now and the end of May to pass on what I have learned and explore how we can better use this flexible technology.

Please send me an email to [email protected] expressing your interest and I will contact you with further details.

Thank you.
