Grant Fuller's workshop in September consists of plein air painting in watercolor with on site demonstration. What to include, what to leave out? Solutions to these age old questions will be provided in simple, basic terms. This means that even beginners can enjoy the experience. If weather prevents us from working outdoors, we will work in the studio from photo reference provided, and step by step demonstration. Either way, this will be a relaxed but informative time. We will learn how to paint water, rocks, trees, clouds, driftwood and most things found in local seascapes.
Experienced painters, feel free to start painting right away. Less experienced painters will benefit from watching Grant's demo and working more closely with his assistance. Either way, there is much to be learned, but at a pace that ensures you enjoy this artist's retreat.
September 21-25, 2009.
Faculty Information:
Grant Fuller attended four years of college at the Vancouver School of Art, and then traveled to Toronto to begin a career in commercial art. As an Art Director and later as an Advertising Manager for Sears Fashion, he worked with the top photographers and artists in New York, Montreal and Chicago. Then arose the opportunity to manage broadcast production. His experience in art directing both still photo, film for TV and video tape took him to location shoots in Florida, Arizona, Puerto Rico, and California. In 1984 he took up painting full time and began to teach watercolor. He has just completed his first watercolor instruction book for North Light Books. Grant's paintings have won several jurors awards and have been featured in magazines and newspapers at local and national levels. He teaches workshops and various courses in watercolor, and his subjects range from buildings and boats to figures and portraits. The quality of his work clearly shows a life long commitment to creating beautiful images.
