You will examine the forms that compose the basic head, and the simple geometric shapes that make up the facial features and show emotion and character: the shape of eyes and eyelids, how the eyes open and close, general construction of the nose, lips and their relationship to the nose, types of chins, and structure of the ear. A list of dos and don'ts clarifies points to remember when you're placing features.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJan Kunz, watercolor artist, stresses that painting a portrait is not a mechanical process, but a dynamic interaction between two people.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou'll learn the importance of getting to know your subject and the things you must see before you start to paint, in order to capture his or her personality and uniqueness. This is where the author introduces her \"stop and think\" method, teaching you to make critical decisions before composing a portrait: Do you want just the head or full figure, complete scene or vignette, vertical or horizontal placement? You'll see how she makes several sketches to prepare for the final drawing, showing the development from the basic head to final head, and the process of making a pencil carbon to transfer the drawing to a clean painting surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe final stage of watercolor portraiture, painting the model in full color, is demonstrated with two different subjects, an attractive young woman and a happy little boy.

Corrective techniques, such as how to soften hard edges, are also illustrated here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKunz presents four additional portraits in step-by-step sequence from initial drawing to completion.

He capitalizes on the strengths of watercolor - delicate and subtle middle values. He verbalizes his composition and problem solving strategies and uses the design principles of dominance, texture, linkage, and repetition to bring unity to the painting. John uses a variety of techniques to create interest - salt, dry brush blending, splattering, mouth atomizer, collage, and acrylics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAre you intimidated by non-objective art? A little fuzzy on what makes good shape integration and design? This is the workshop for you. To John Salminen, design is the common language binding all styles of painting. Salminen, a recent gold medal winner of both the American Watercolor Society and National Watercolor Society, speaks the language of design fluently. In this workshop, John applies his core design principles to a complex, layered abstraction. You'll learn to create interesting shapes, capitalize on the strengths of watercolor and keep your painting intriguing and unpredictable. You'll also discover composition and problem-solving strategies that apply to all media.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJohn focuses the workshop on core principles of design: dominance, texture, linkage and repetition. As he sketches common objects to seed his composition, he begins to establish shape and line type dominance.

You'll learn the practical and artistic reasoning behind establishing color dominance as John brushes in a warm surround.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThroughout the workshop, you'll see John enhance his watercolors with salt, dry brush blending, sponges, spattering, and a mouth atomizer. John uses masking extensively and creatively to control his applications. Most importantly, he demonstrates the careful judgment and self control necessary to create effects that enhance the painting rather than tricks that steal attention from overall design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou'll share in his thought process as he attacks design problems at each stage in the painting.

He edits predictable shapes, gradually varies pigments and creates repetition through subtle echoes. John caps the painting with a truly unpredictable mixed media component.

As a master of brush moisture, Jackson easily adds complementary colors side by side on wet paper without runs or blooms. He moves between foreground (pavement), midground (figures) and background (the city) to make sure that the city lights and their reflections bounce throughout his painting. He makes sure to use his details in his focal area and reminds you to not spend too much time doing unnecessary detail work in areas that aren’t suppose to draw the eye. He builds up his values slowly, softening hard edges with clean water and  making sure his darkest darks are in his focal figure. As he layers, he’ll occasionally remove masking fluid so that he can reintegrate the bright whites back into his painting.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSkill Level:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis is not a beginning workshop.
