Pouring Watercolor with Kris Parins

Posted by: Kris Parins

3-Day Watercolor Workshop
Pouring is a technique that every watercolor painter needs to have in his or her “bag of tricks.” It is a method for creating a large, seamless washes and a way to loosen up and let it flow. There’s nothing quite like the excitement of seeing all that beautiful color swirling on the paper, creating a glowing underpainting. Then, light and dark value shapes are used to define additional layers of masking and pouring, retaining the transparency and vibrancy that is the essence of watercolor.
In this workshop, students will choose their own subject matter and work from their own original source material (photos or sketches.) Kris injects fun and enthusiasm into her workshops while emphasizing planning, values, and good design. She’ll do daily demonstrations and allow time for individual attention.
Participants should have experience painting in watercolor and a working knowledge of watercolor materials and general art principles.
Kris is a Signature Member of NWS and FWS, her work has been featured on the covers of American Artist Watercolor and Watercolor Artist magazines.
Since 1998, she has devoted her creative energy toward fine art in watercolor. The transparency and vibrancy, combined with an element of surprise, continue to keep her interested in this challenging medium. Kris' computer and camera are integral to her creative process. Frequent travels provide fresh input and continue to develop her way of seeing.
