Tara was this year’s MN State Fair Judge for the watercolor division. She has been creating award-winning work for over 40 years and is Professor Emeritus of Art at Augsburg College where she taught for 25 years. Tara also has extensive national and international workshop experience. She holds signature status in NWS, RRWS, and MWS. Tara’s work has been featured on PBS and at the Swedish-American Art Institute in Minneapolis. The Minneapolis Star Tribune said, “Tara evokes beauty with keen observation and rare grace.” It promises to be an outstanding workshop. Here is Tara’s summary of the workshop: The spontaneity of watercolor makes it the perfect medium for expressing character strengths and quirks. Jumpstart your creativity, wake up intuition, and strengthen technique under expert guidance. There will be instructor demos, guided practice, and individualized feedback. You will learn a “three-layer, four-value, hold-the-whites”approach to transparent watercolor. We will explore compositional planning, drawing tips, vibrant color mixing, pigment characteristics, wet-into-wet mingling magic, lively brushwork, and intentional lost and found edges.
The workshop is for all levels of ability. Masks will be required due to Tara being immune-compromised. Sign up today!!!
