About the Workshop
Richie Vios, award-winning plein air artist, will host a 3-day watercolor workshop for intermediate to advanced level artists who want to learn the art of watercolor painting. Richie shares how to be a successful watercolor Studio/Pleinair artist by simplifying the watercolor process into the essential elements, guiding each artist for a better understanding of the watercolor medium through live demonstrations, and creating a process at their skill level, pace, medium, and subject matter. Richie demonstrates how the four pillars of a good watercolor painting and an understanding of the Watercolor Consistency called "Watercolor Clock," lead to a more truthful work of art that is full of passion. Richie will help you develop your skills, painting visualization, and become the confident plein air artist that you want to be.
