Don Andrews
"COLOR EMPHASIS LANDSCAPE WORKSHOP" | 
|
October 24th-28th
Through
the language of watercolor, we painters can explore the natural world
around us in fresh, exciting and more personal ways. Regardless of the
landscape we choose to explore, or our personal approach to painting,
we all have in common the search for a more vital color statement.
Color offers us a wonderful opportunity to express our individual
feelings about any chosen subject.
Don’s Color Emphasis
Landscape class isn’t geared to any specific level of achievement,
rather artists at all levels will benefit from a 5 day exploration into
color, design, organization, light and their utilization in the
exciting world of landscape painting. This workshop will be packed with
demonstrations, discussions, individual help, personal and group
critiques.
This workshop will be held at the Stone Arch Conference and Art Center in Saline, MI.
STUDENT MATERIAL LIST
• Any size sketchpad
• Markers or pencils
• 10 sheets of watercolor paper (Don uses Arches Cold press 140lb.)
• Students are encouraged to work at any size they wish, but have plenty of paper on hand.
•
One easel per student (preferably a table easel, Don uses a French Box
easel) as we will be working on a slant.
• The
usual watercolor supplies: Palette, paint, brushes, water container,
paint board with clamps, paper towels, etc.
• Several photos, sketches or other source material for class study.
NOTE:
In addition to the usual brushes, a 1 ½” or 2” flat brush is
recommended. Don presently uses a Robert Simmons Sky Flow flat
brush, although other brands are satisfactory.
WATERCOLOR PAINTS
Students often ask what colors Don has on his palette, so we are
providing you with a list of what he’s using now. (His colors are often
changing and he does enjoy experimenting with some of the new colors
coming out.) Typically, he doesn’t expect students to use the same
colors: however he does emphasize that you should have 2 light, 2
medium, and 2 dark of all the primary colors. (He also uses black.)
Most professional brands are interchangeable, and include Holbein,
Windsor Newton, Daniel Smith, and American Journey.
