In this class you will learn about the best materials to use to achieve the best results. You will learn color mixing and different techniques and styles of painting.
We will work from photographs that I supply, or from your own photographs (always preferred). 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. This is an ongoing class. |

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 oil doing Rosemaling (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 25 years ago. Liv worked as a Draftsman first and then as Technical Illustrator 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.
