How to Paint a Barn in a Snowy Landscape
Gather up your paint brushes and sharpen a pencil to learn how to create a barn in a beautiful snowy setting. In this workshop, learn how to create an interesting sky with clouds and a backdrop for the barn and, if you wish, add snowflakes for atmosphere. Instructor provides a reference about a week in advance or use one of your own. The barn should be drawn onto watercolor paper beforehand, but instructor can assist if necessary. Whether you’re new to or familiar with watercolor, this workshop will give you the confidence to continue to paint more in this wonderful medium. Material list available upon registration.
Bivenne Harvey Staiger is known for her colorful, dramatic watercolors of natural motifs she loves, like birds, other animals and flowers, and is the recipient of many prestigious awards. Among the most recent is the Silver Medal from the American Watercolor Society’s 152nd International Exhibition (2019). She is professionally affiliated with many art groups, including but not limited to the Salmagundi Club, American Artists’ Professional League, Academic Artists Association, Connecticut Academy of Fine Artists, Connecticut Watercolor Society, and many others. Bivenne regularly gives instruction, demonstrations and workshops in watercolor, and in fact has an upcoming weekend workshop, focusing on painting flowers in watercolor, at Yale Peabody Museum in August. At least two major solo exhibitions and a few group exhibitions featuring her work, including Spectrum Gallery in Centerbrook, Connecticut, are scheduled for the end of this year and next.
