Painting with Robin Whitfield

The class will include a hand-on introduction to a limited palette of primary colors, playing with water control, composition and abstraction from life, simplification of value/color, mark making techniques, and the specific challenges of watercolor from life.

There will be demos, painting exercises, discussion, individual instruction, and lunch!

Workshop includes all supplies - including M Graham Paint and Robert Simmon brushes

Robin paints on location with watercolor and experiments with foraged wild pigments. She takes a special interest in exploring native habitats on public land in Mississippi. Her lightweight painting system gives her access by foot or kayak to these wild and remote places. Her studio is located just off the square in the historic district of Grenada, Mississippi near Lee Tartt Nature Preserve. Her non profit friends-of-cs.org manages and interprets Chakchiuma Swamp, the natural community within the preserve.
