Update:
I was privileged
to spend the last two weeks of August in upstate Michigan,
along the Lake Michigan Coast.
One week was in Harbor Springs, attending a watercolor workshop
by internationally-acclaimed artist and instructor Cheng-Khee
Chee.
Cheng-Khee has developed five approaches which synthesize
Eastern and Western styles of watercolor painting. Each day
of the workshop focused on one of these unique approaches.
I learned a great deal, had tons of fun, and met 18 talented
artists.
So far, I've completed four paintings from the workshop and
am sharing them with you now.
Traditional Method
The first day Cheng-Khee demonstrated traditional Chinese
watercolor. We students painted a subject of our choosing,
using our own typical approach. Cheng-Khee spent the afternoon
getting to know each of us, analyzing our personal styles,
and helping us with our paintings. The River's Journey:
The Beginning is of Poudre Lake and is part of my
Cache la Poudre series.
Saturated Wet Technique
This method entails saturating the watercolor paper with water
and covering the sheet with bold pigment, then lifting out
the pigment to develop white or light-colored details. I love
this method and love Mariposa Lilies, so I chose Complex
Simplicity: Mariposa Lily for the day's exercise.
Improvisational Approach
Not much preplanning, just treating illustration board with
acrylic gel medium, then painting the cliffs on the treated
areas. The water in Waterfall No. 1 is the only
area that was not 'primed' with the gel medium.
Crinkling Technique
Wetting & crinkling Masa paper (sized Japanese rice paper),
then painting a scene on the wet paper lends itself nicely
to trees. Changing Seasons is a little-used
trail in Rocky Mountain National Park.
