Figures in Watermedia

Here are the 3 paintings done while in Liz Hill's Cypress Mill workshop at Wenmoh's Ranch.  Many drawings were done in the 3 days but only a few worth painting were attempted.  All have collage elements, charcoal, watercolor, gouache, and oil pastel added.  Many new ideas were learned and new paths to travel are for the adventurous artist.  Hopefully Sue, Leada, and Carol will post theirs soon.  We hope Dena Wenmohs will ask Liz to return next year.

Down at the Ranch

Caboose Girls

Four of the Caboose Watercolor Society were at the Liz Hill Figurative Workshop on the Wenmohs Ranch. In front is Sue Bagwell and back left to right is Kay Smith, Leada Wood and Carole Berry. The Bunkhouse is a fun artist retreat with world class instructors. To see a list of workshops click here: http://www.wenmohsranch.com/.  Dena is a wonderful lady, great artist and awesome hostess. You can stay at the ranch and paint your heart out! She has three day and weeklong retreats for artists.
Liz Hill was a great teacher, we had a different model each day and would draw in the mornings and paint in the afternoons. It is not your ordinary figurative workshop. Liz teaches you to draw with charcoal on prepared surfaces and then paint the figures in watercolors. It makes unusual and exciting figurative paintings.
