Saturday, June 5, 2010
10:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.

Marge Chavooshian has received over 165 regional and national awards and is listed in Who’s Who in American Art. She was featured in American Artist Magazine and her paintings are included in “Best of Watercolor,” “Places in Watercolor,” “The Best of Sketching and Drawing,” and “Landscapes” by Rockport Publishers. Her work is represented in corporate and private collections here and abroad. Marge is a signature member of the American Watercolor Society and The National Watercolor Society, among others.

Marge brings expertise and a great enthusiasm to teaching. The workshop will begin with a demonstration. Emphasis will be on value studies, composition, color mixing, and a simplified approach to perspective. Capturing the drama of sunlight and shadows will also be stressed.
