Central Coast Watercolor Society
Frank Eber Workshop
CCWS Sponsors a Frank Eber Workshop "Beyond Technique: Finding Individual Expression" in Nipomo, CA.
February 28 and March 1, 2022
A painter's painter, Frank Eber works in a direct, loose style influenced by the Old World masters. Typical in his art are color mixes and light that evoke nostalgia while remaining absolutely in the present. Frank's watercolor workshops reach beyond technique, encouraging individual expression and observing the elusive balance of forces that create beauty in painting.
Workshop Description
The workshop will continue in the tradition of the 20th Century California Barbizon movement (“intimate works, painted with a limited palette; softly expressive, suggestive rather than detailed”)
- Focus on emotional responses to nature
- Encourage the individual artist’s expression while balancing the forces at play in creation of a painting.
- Topics will include design and composition, color and lighting, positives and negatives, simplification of shape, and atmospheric effects. The techniques you will learn in Frank’s workshop transcend the watercolor medium.
All levels are welcome but students should have an understanding of the watercolor medium and of simple one point perspective. Students should be able to paint a simple watercolor wash.
Frank stresses a solid foundation in the basics, “…so that our focus is on creating timeless art. An emotional link is necessary in our work, as well as the connection to the vibrancy of everything we paint.”
