Travel Journals and Watercolor Painting with Robin Poteet
Lots of artists create journals and sketchbooks, but few create them as Robin Poteet does! Her travel journals have been featured in national magazines and her journal related workshops always fill quickly. Her level of skill and imagination comes from a successful career in graphic design and illustration. Robin is an experienced workshop instructor with a relaxed and informative style that helps students take their work to the next level.
This 5-day workshop has two components:
3 days of Sketchbook / Travel Journals. Students will learn the entire process — how to create journals, decorate their covers with papers made in class, and fill their pages with pen & ink, watercolor and text (using their own photos and theme). They will explore techniques for combining pen & ink & paint, ways to keep their approach fresh and lively, and how to create an imaginative flow from page to page. Demos will include buildings, foliage and incorporating figures and animals.
2 Days of Creating Finished Paintings. Choosing one or two of their images, students will create larger watercolor paintings (quarter to half sheet size.) This process will focus on watercolor techniques and how to maintain looseness from sketch to finished art.
This is a rewarding workshop for all levels — from beginners with some watercolor knowledge to professionals.
Robin Poteet is a “classic” watercolorist, and believes paintings are their best when we work with this medium rather than exert too much control. She is a professional painter and teaches workshops in the US and abroad.
