Ratindra Das Workshop
The Ratindra Das workshop will be September 22-26 at the Gaddis Group studio in Jackson. Call Ann Gourlay (601-982-2511) or Sally Todd (601-982-7095) to reserve your position now. The cost will be $375 for the 5-day workshop. Carry your painting to a new level of expression and paint a personal reality. No gimmicks, just learn simple truths and secrets about the medium of watercolor from this award winning artist. Free yourself and demystify old cliches (a blue/grey sky, stretching paper, 200 or 300 pound papers, focal points, linear perspective, etc. ) Don't be a control freak or have a master-slave relationship with the medium. The only one abiding rule is to not make a "boring" picture. Learn how to make a painting interesting from an uninteresting photograph. Use colors intuitively instead of copying from photos or from nature. Ratindra will lead paint-along sessions and give daily demonstrations explaining values, shapes and colors and plenty of personal attention.
