“Make a Splash with Watercolor” was a hit at April’s meeting with our own LAG member, Jude Martindale, sharing her skills and a recent workshop experience. Jude attended a Gouache Watercolor workshop in Myrtle Beach . Contour shapes and value studies were made from original photos. Shapes were flattened and simplified, thinking abstractly and value markers were used to decide on the best design. Finally, white gouache was added to colors for the finished  painting!  The workshop instructor, artist  Donna Zagotta , emphasized that “the painting is more important than the subject that inspires it!”  Refreshments were provided by Jan Pippitt.
