My Way of Painting in Watercolors
By Dona LeCrone Walston


July 21, 22, 9:00-3:00

Semmes Gallery at the San Antonio Art League & Museum
130 King William  San Antonio, Texas


For all levels of expertise in watercolor. Cost: $200 total

After a lifetime of painting in watermedia for over 50 years. I would like to share my methods of painting watercolors and my journey to finding my ‘voice,’ including your personal journeys.

Color is my reason for painting; the staining, nonstaining and opaque qualities of different paints are basic. I will furnish handouts on paint color properties.    I ‘lift’ a lot in my paintings so these properties are essential. I will introduce basic triads of compatible primaries to begin a watercolor.

On the first day, as well as experimenting with color, we will create a painting.  I ask that each artist brings a drawing for a painting they would like to create. I work from my own photos so that is a possibility.

Second Day: Sharing our journeys in finding our voices in art and continuing the painting/experimenting started on the first day.  What drives you to paint? I will share my painting journey- the steps I took along the way to finding my voice.  Then there will be individual sharing with me about each artist’s journey and ‘voice’ facilitated by 3 finished works of your art brought from home.   There will be a class sharing session at the end.

I will bring all my watercolor paint tubes to share as well as archival paper for the color experiments.

Supplies for the class:

Quarter sheet (approximately 11 x 15) sized Watercolor paper, paints and brushes that you prefer for watercolors. 
(Your paintings are boosted exponentially by using rag paper; I prefer Arches 140# Cold Press.)                                                                                                     
a drawing on paper to paint
Second day: please bring 3 finished examples of your artwork.
                                                                                        
Bring your own lunch.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    
Our Art League includes artists with a wealth of experience in their chosen mediums, I hope that some will share that experience through workshops.
