Workshops - Experimental Watermedia Workshop

Experimental Watermedia Workshop

The emphasis of this workshop will be color and experimental watermedia in acrylic and gouache with some graulating watercolor. We will begin using acrylic as a water medium and as the week progresses introduce gouache as a translucent and opaque overlay and the last day combine these media with granulating watercolor.  During the five day workshop artists will be in the studio and we will focus on color, color mixing and color relationships in acrylic and gouache.

He has signature lines of watercolor, acrylic, watercolor paper, palette and brushes, produced by the Jack Richeson Company and has developed the Quiller Color Wheel that is used by artists throughout the world.

Stephen’s paintings have been on covers and the subjects of articles in many leading art magazines. He has served as a juror for most of the regional and international water media exhibitions and conducts a limited number of national and international seminars annually. However, he continues to spend most of his time painting on-location or at his studio in Creede, located near the headwaters of the Rio Grande in southern Colorado. He paints beaver ponds, snow shadows, water reflections and mountain patterns, wild iris and aspen, reaching deeper to capture the essence of the rhythm and spirit of the San Juans. He paints primarily on-location with watercolor during the spring, summer and autumn seasons and when he travels internationally.

 During the winter months he paints in his studio working larger and with water media: watercolor, gouache, acrylic and casein. Nature, color and light are his inspiration.

He has painted professionally since 1972 and his works are enthusiastically collected. His paintings can be viewed at the Mission Gallery in Taos, New Mexico and during the summer months at the Quiller Gallery in Creede, Colorado.
