Pat Weaver
Watercolor
July 9 - 12, 2012 - 4 day workshop
Plein air / Studio
Pat Weaver is an internationally recognized watercolor artist with more than 30 years of experience. Her watercolors are spontaneous and direct. The colors excite the viewer and flow from her brush like music from a fine violin. Her love, knowledge and command of the watercolor medium is passed onto the hundreds of students who have taken her workshops throughout the years.
She conducts workshops on Portrait and Figures; Landscapes; Floral and Still Life; Animals; Drawing and Color Theory throughout the U.S. and abroad. Many of these students have taken multiple workshops from her and keep coming back time after time. She inspires, motivates and teaches the fundamental principles of painting, choosing to allow students to develop their own style of painting. But all the while disciplining and encouraging them to apply the principles taught to produce fine art.
All levels - $595 per student
