​INFORMATION
Liv Witherow, Instructor

jorunnliv@hotmail.com
386-690-8637

2 sessions available:
Tuesday 1-4pm, start Jan 14, 2020
​Wednesday 9:30am-12:30pm, start Jan 15, 2020
Cost: $85/6 weeks
Non-members: $15 extra
Students: Min 8, Max 12

Materials List:
Watercolor paper (Preferably Arches 140 Lbs. Cold pressed block or sheets, or other Artist grade papers made of cotton such as Saunders Waterford or Fluid). Some cheaper paper might be used for practice. The best brand for that is Strathmore 400 Series.  I will always have full sheets of Arches paper with me in class.  I will charge you exactly the same price as I pay for it myself.
Sketch book/block (Newsprint is fine)
Pencil
Kneaded eraser (will not harm the surface of the watercolor paper).
Round watercolor brushes size 3, 8 and 12 (preferably Loew and Cornell round or ultra-round)
Rigger brush size 2
Flat watercolor brush ¼” or ½”
Flat Watercolor brush for washes 1” or 1 ½ “
Watercolor paints:   Please get Artist grade, such as American Journey, Daniel Smith and Winsor Newton.  There are several Brands available.  American Journey is the most economical. DO NOT BUY STUDENT COLOR (only exception is Winsor Newton Cotman)
We need one cool and one warm of the 3 primary colors, plus Burnt Sienna. Preferably tubes. 7 colors in all.
(See suggested colors below.  Some of the manufacturers use
different names for the same colors so it can become a little confusing.) 
1. Warm: French Ultramarine Blue or Ultramarine Blue
2. Cool Blue: Phthalo Blue or Joe’s Blue (American Journey) or Winsor Blue
3. Cool Red: Alizarin Crimson or Permanent Alizarin Crimson
4. Warm Red: Scarlet Lake or Red Hot Momma (American Journey)
5. Cool Red: Hansa Yellow Medium or Lemon Yellow or Joe’s Yellow (American Journey)
6. Warm Yellow: Raw Sienna
7. Burnt Sienna
Container for water
Paper towels or Kleenex or both.
Palette for your watercolors, preferably with lid and a mixing area
Board to place your watercolor paper (such as Gator board or foamboard)
Masking tape (if you like to tape your paper down. I do not ).
 
The best places to get your materials will be online.  I use Cheap Joe’s a lot (American Journey paint).  Also, Jerry’s Artarama and Dick Blick are both good websites. Please contact me if you have questions.

In this class you will learn about the best materials to use for achieving the best results. You will learn color mixing and different techniques of painting. We will work wet in to wet and wet in to dry.  We will use a very limited palette.

We will work from photographs that I supply, or from your own photographs (always preferred). Sometimes we will also paint still life from set-ups.  I will usually demo for the first 30 minutes of class. I will also send you a step by step instruction of most of the paintings I demo that you can keep for your reference.

    Contact the instructor if you have questions or to sign up right now!

Liv Witherow
Liv was born and raised in Norway where she met her American husband who was in the Navy and stationed at the NATO base in Norway.  Liv moved to the US when her husband had orders back to the US. In Norway, Liv painted in the decorative style of Rosemaling, using oil paint on wood (old style of Norwegian decorative painting).

She was interested in art at an early age.  Moving with her family several times due to husband’s military orders, art got placed in the background for several years, but she started up again when moving to Florida 26 years ago.  Liv worked as a Draftsman first and then as Technical Illustrator and Technical writer for companies like Lockheed Martin and General Electrics.  About 10 years ago she discovered watercolors and was hooked.

Liv has been an instructor at Artists’ Workshop Inc. for several years and has won several awards in our juried shows. She has attended workshops with several well-known watercolorists including Janet Rogers, Steve Rogers, John Salminen, Judy Betts, Sue Archer, Birgitte O’Connor and others.  Her artwork can also be seen at The Hub on Canal, and at our Gallery on Canal Street
