TCVA Workshop: Loose and Abstract: Watercolor and Gouache Figure Painting July 11, 2012

Working with an unclothed model, participants will explore unusual ways of applying watercolor and gouache to paper creating beautiful figure paintings with a contemporary, abstract look. Composition, drawing and color choices will be emphasized. Print making rollers, eyedroppers and scrapers will be tools of choice along with a brush or two.

Instructor bio

Kate Worm holds a bachelor’s degree from Michigan State University and a master's degree from Columbia University Teachers College, with minors in visual arts. She studied figure painting for four years with renowned painter and educator Andrew Martin at UNC Greensboro. She paints landscape and still life with oil, but uses watercolor and gouache for figure work. Her approach with both media is a radical departure from traditional painting because she uses printmaking rollers, syringes and eyedroppers to apply the paint.
