Annual membership dues $30.
We expect another fun, exciting time with our September demonstator.
She asks:
Indoor, outdoor, lights first, darks first?
Essential questions for the wandering watercolorist.
The conventional wisdom in watercolor instruction does not say, "Go boldly in with your first brush stroke." It suggests creeping gently in to a painting, building luminous passageways that allow the sparkling white surface of the paper to be seen through the layers of paint laid above. It’s like a stream with interesting rocks on the bottom. You don't want muddy water obstructing your view. Unfortunately, though, that is often what the results are, and why many artists give up on watercolor quickly.
Elizabeth Ingebretsen will be discussing the advantages of working from dark to light in transparent watercolor. She shares her concerns for design, value, color, and edges in watercolor painting from life, and not from photographs. You are invited to join in the discussion and demonstration with Elizabeth, who encourages a robust exchange with her audience and fellow painters.
See more about Elizabeth below, just after images of her paintings.
DATE: Sept 22., 2018

Elizabeth Ingebretsen's work represents places she has traveled, but more importantly, it symbolizes the desire for a life that is lived more slowly and deliberately, one richer in emotion and filled with meaningful experiences.
Elizabeth has lived on the cutting edge of high technology, with positions in marketing communications at Intel, Xerox, and Cisco Systems. She welcomes the positive impact technology has had on society in her lifetime. As Albert Einstein, however, is quoted, “It is appallingly obvious our technology has exceeded our humanity.”
Painting links the artist to the subject in a very direct and human way. Her objective is for the work to to be an intersection of her physical efforts and a viewer’s experience -- to evoke memories, create calm, stimulate delight and generate hope.
Elizabeth earned a Bachelor of Science in Applied Art and Design from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, California. She gained national recognition for her graphic design work prior to devoting all of her time to painting. She is now a professional artist.
She comments, “I move in the direction of my fears with my art. I am constantly seeking to refine, expand, and grow as a painter. I cherish the lack of routine, and embrace the growth that may come from each new painting experience.
