The Saint Louis Watercolor Society
presents
Don Andrews
Figure Painting Workshop
Workshop dates: April 4-8, 2005

Addressing the figure as the subject for a painting with the same artistic freedom and looseness employed when attempting other subjects in nature is the central theme of Don's figure class.

“Throughout the workshop I will be putting forth the concept that successful figure painting is more than a visual explanation of anatomical parts. While there is nothing wrong with reporting detail, perhaps we have traveled down the ‘detail' road long enough. We can also benefit from exploring the figure through color, design, and paint quality directions as well.”

Don's classes are geared to intermediate and advanced painters who are looking for a challenge. Daily demonstrations will excite and stimulate those artists who are eager to stretch beyond the usual answers and discover a new looseness and expressive paint quality in their work. We will be painting live models wearing swimsuits and colorful outfits.

Don Andrews, a graduate of the Ringling School of Arts in Sarasota , has received numerous awards in national competitions, including three for the AWS. A nationally known artist and instructor, Don has conducted over 200 painting workshops throughout the world. He is the author of ‘Interpreting the Figure in Watercolor' as well as the video, ‘ Making Watercolor Glow'. His workshops are always popular for the way he teaches and his winning personality!
