Watercolor is a truly diverse medium. Explore techniques – learn washes, wet on wet painting, glazing and dry brush methods. We will begin to understand the properties of pigments and when to use them properly.

More advanced students move beyond the basics, creating a series of more complex paintings and completing their own interpretations of projects presented in class.

Watercolor is always challenging, fresh and new.

About Howard Rose:
Howard Rose has been painting with oils since 1989. He teaches privately and at The Art League of Long Island, the National Art League in Douglaston and has given many workshops at The Art Guild.

“It certainly was and is an exciting journey to become an artist and see the world through an artist’s eye. I love the challenge of turning an everyday scene into a successful and exciting painting. Inventing new shapes and colors, tweaking the design and making it read as you envisioned.

“What an honor it is for me to work with all of my students (in all my classes).  They teach me art, we solve world problems, and we share the struggles to get it right. Most important is the opening of their souls to other artists… a most vulnerable and special part of their lives.”

JUROR : Marc Josloff earned his B.A. and Masters Degrees at Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, NY. He is both a painter and a photographer and brings a unique fine art perspective to his photography. As a painter, Marc was cited as one of “11 Artists to Watch,” in the 2004 edition of Watercolor Magic magazine. His photographs have been widely exhibited and he has been awarded best in show, best in color and best in black and white in numerous juried exhibitions. Marc is president of the Long Island Center of Photography. “Photography is a very gratifying art modality because it permits us to explore acutely everything around us wherever we are, in whatever way we want. We can take a hundred photographs in an hour if we please, then delete ninety-nine of them. . .but that one to cherish is worth it all.”
