Eric Wiegardt, AWS, NWS, nationally recognized judge, juror, and award winner,
has left an indelible mark on the American Art scene with more than 20 years of
professional painting and teaching experience. He is the author of the North
Light book Watercolor Free & Easy and is featured in many books,
along with articles in Watercolor Magazine, International Artist Magazine,
Watercolor Magic Magazine, and as a cover artist for The Artist’s
Magazine. Eric is a graduate of the American Academy of Art in Chicago.
This workshop is for those who wish to loosen up in watercolor. Painting
techniques and a philosophy of design will encourage bold and loose paintings.
Eric will do a completed painting demonstration daily. Subject matter may
include landscapes, marinescapes, florals, interior and still lives. Lectures
and discussions will be easily understood and helpful to beginners as well as
professionals. There will be ample time for students to try the concepts of
painting loosely presented in a safe environment.
