A Watercolor Painting Workshop,
10am – 4pm
Petroglyph National Monument is pleased to offer this watercolor class instructed by Lisa Coddington. Lisa’s fine watercolor botanicals and whimsical garden characters are created for a range of clients including corporate annual reports, galleries, and licensed giftware products.
A member of the Society for Botanical Artist’s, Lisa has taught workshops nationwide for six years and she’s taught special botanical workshops for the last three years in Santa Fe.
Her childhood visits to formal topiary gardens and sifting through fall harvest color served as a wellspring for the whimsical and fine botanical paintings she produces today. Family stories about her birthplace, Caracas, Venezuela and her father’s global sideshows cultivated her appreciation for the varied cultural artistic expressions which cross language barriers and preserve the best of humanity.
Recent trips to France and Mexico and freelance work continue to inspire her to teach and share the beautiful art form of botanical art with adults and children.
If you have been waiting to start painting or you are interested in reviewing technique, this beginners/intermediate painting class introduces watercolor glazing techniques which Renaissance artists used to create their detailed botanical and animal illustrations. Subject selection, lighting, drawing, color mixing, and painting technique will be taught and also demonstrated.
Drawing experience is necessary. Cost of $95 per person includes supplies and materials. Advanced registration is required for this workshop. Contact Susanna at 505-899-0205 ext. 332 to register.
