Nicholas Simmons-- Acrylic /Watercolor Mixed Media
$425.00
Location: Innovative Watermedia
Workshop
Dates: 11/12/2010 - 11/14/2010
Contact Person: Mikolean Longacre or Sandra Baker-Hinton
The workshop will concentrate on concepts and techniques for which Simmons is noted: diversity in subject matter, large scale paintings, fluid acrylic used as transparent watercolor, unusual textures such as Nicholas' popular "batik" technique, computer-aided design (computer not required for enrollees); composition, poured watercolor; and creative photography for obtaining unconventional reference shots. Everybody will paint daily, and each person will receive indivdualized attention. Be prepared for Nicholas' unorthodox and at times irreverent approach, and buckle up for a wokshop that runs more on adrenalin than the rule book!
Mr Simmons' paintings have been featured in a variety of publications and on Maryland Public Televeison. In 2008, his DVD Innovative Watermedia
was released by Creative Catalyst Productions. Awards include the top prize at the 2007 National Watercolor Society, and consecutive gold medals at the Pennsylvania Watercolor Society, 2008-2009. In 2010, he was awarded a gold medal at the Texas Watercolor Society Show. www.nicholassimmons.com

Armand has a maximum of 12 students in his workshops, allowing each student to get plenty of attention. Students will learn how to finish 2 paintings per day in an alla prima method.
Armand teaches how to simplify and organize the painting process to work within the fleeting time constraints of the roving sun. He instructs how to "organize nature" and capture light and atmosphere in a painterly fashion. He demos daily, usually between 12 pm - 1 pm ... during the most challenging time of the day, leaving the better hours of light for the students to paint. Students discover how to eliminate their weaknesses. More seasoned painters will be taught how to solve advanced problems and perfect their technique.
In the event of rain, the workshops will be held inside at a facility suitable for painting. Students are asked to bring small sketches or photos to paint from. Students should anticipate weather changes and bring proper attire.
