About the Demo:
Working small makes it easy to create every day and to take your creativity wherever you go. If you are looking for a visual way to document your travels, paint outside more often, or minimize your painting supplies & space, starting a watercolor sketchbook practice might be just what you need.
In this workshop, we will explore fun ways and techniques to be creative with images and page composition, and to free yourself up with simple line drawing and loose watercolor painting. And with a minimal amount of supplies, so that you can take your painting practice everywhere!
You will also learn different page design ideas to help you create your own watercolor sketchbook that shows your own creative voice.
About the Instructor — Lourdes Rosas-Rasdall
Statement from the Artist: Art was my first love and has been a driving force in my life, although not always in the forefront. As an art major, I studied most traditional mediums and methods. Although my work spans over multiple mediums, I love watercolor the most, for its fluidity, simplicity, and portability. Surprisingly, watercolor is also suitable for mixed media work, and I often incorporate other elements in my watercolors, like pen & ink for line detail, gesso or other acrylic mediums for texture and resists, or embellish a finished watercolor with collage.
Since my freshman year at Eckerd College, I have lived in the Tampa Bay area, where the sun shines an average of 360 days a year. My art is an interpretation of the world as I see it: colorful, beautiful and bright.
I have been showing my art publicly and actively since 2002 and teaching painting since 2015. I have taught group classes and workshops, as well as private instruction in watercolor, watercolor sketching & art journaling. In 2019, I traded a corporate career for a more creative lifestyle. I was not looking for a job when I was offered my current position as Suntan Art Center’s Director. It was a calling I needed to follow. Today, Suntan is where I work, teach, create, show my art, and where I can be myself, surrounded by art and a great community of artists. On the side, I still try to keep up with my own painting practice & teach an occasional group workshop.
This demo will be available in person and on Zoom.
