The resonating theme throughout the life of fine artist Cheryle Chapline is one of visual discovery. By observing the common-place and transforming her interpretation of the subject into fine art, Ms. Chapline has built a lasting legacy of work that changes the viewers’ perspective. The observer sees the subject, literally, in a whole new light because of the interplay of light and color which is accomplished with glazing the underpainting prior to the application of local color. Watercolor, as her primary medium, lends itself to this method of color theory by capitalizing on it’s transparent qualities, allowing color to mix optically on the paper rather than mixing color on the palette. A visual vibration is created that can not be created in any other way, drawing attention to the vast variety of hues and tones present in our natural world.
This all encompassing watercolor workshop will cover techniques not only of a basic nature as well as more advanced processes. We will practice color theory, brush strokes, use of values and their importance, composition, etc. and include the distinctions that are unique to painting with watercolor.
