Don Getz
Watercolor on Gesso Surfaces
August 11 -15, 2008
Plein air / Studio
The main benefit of working on acrylic gessoed surfaces is the ability to alter or modify a painted area at any time during the creative process. This encourages boldness and experimentation, challenging the artist to "take chances" and not be wary of that piece of white paper. A new freedom of expression by the individual artist will be the result, if you give yourself time to understand the process and its uniqueness.
Don Getz is a signature life member and a vice president of the American Watercolor Society; signature member of Midwest Watercolor Society; and founder and life member of the Ohio Watercolor Society. Getz is also a member of the infamous W.P.A. – the Whiskey Painters of America – a
notorious group of artists scattered across the U.S. who paint miniature watercolors using alcohol, instead of water.Getz is not a ‘charter’ member, but one of only three of the original members still licking their brushes. In his duties with the AWS, Getz has produced the annual exhibition color catalog since 1985.
