Description

There are several techniques that make up almost all watercolor paintings. Through interactive demonstrations, students will learn the basics of watercolor, including how to make a color chart, flat washes, and graded washes. Students will also learn shortcuts such as how to use a natural sponge to create realistic foliage. Next, students will create their own paintings. Bring a printed picture of something you’d like to paint, choose from the instructor’s images, or create something from your own imagination. The instructor will show students how to transfer printed images to watercolor paper using graphite transfer paper (images brought by students must be on thin paper such as computer paper). The student can then fill in the painting using the watercolor techniques learned. Everyone will finish the class with their own original artwork.

This workshop was developed in connection to the exhibition Art + Place + Community: 10 Years with Good Hart Artist Residency. This opportunity was made possible thanks to support from Good Hart Artist Residency.

Lindsey Dunnagan

Artist and Instructor
CTAC Petoskey

Lindsey Dunnagan uses diverse techniques to explore human interactions with the natural environment. Her artwork connects humanity to nature in small ways and large. From an intimate view, she tells stories of home and identity. On a larger scale, she investigates our spiritual ties to nature. Her work is an investigation of micro and macro personal connections and a reminder of the space we traverse. Lindsey is a three-time Hunting Art Prize Finalist and has shown nationally in solo and juried exhibitions. Her work was published in the 120 West edition of New American Paintings. 

Lindsey was born in Anchorage, Alaska and eventually moved to Texas where she earned a Bachelor of Environmental Design Architecture from Texas A&M in 2007. After college, she worked as an architectural intern before deciding to join the US Peace Corps. From 2007 – 2009, Lindsey worked with artisans as a Small Business Development Volunteer in Morocco. In 2014 Lindsey completed a Master of Fine Arts in Painting and Drawing and in 2015 she finished a Master of Arts in Art History from Texas Woman’s University. Lindsey is an Associate Professor of Art at Truman State University in Kirksville, Missouri where she runs the Painting Department.
