Anne Abgott Online Art Workshop: Cherries and Silver in Watercolor, April 7, 2025

This workshop is primarily about composition and design.  Anne will use graphs to help you see and paint the shapes that make a successful painting.  By following some of these very old basic principles, you can create great compositions from landscapes to still-life.  This painting has no background, no horizon line, and will use only the white of the paper!  Anne is well-known for her technique in painting silver, reflections, and vibrant colors.  Although the original painting of this subject has been published and sold, you can learn her methods, and paint it along with her, in this workshop.  Learn from the comfort of your own home or studio in this one-day, live & interactive class through Zoom! Anne will motivate and guide you step-by-step as she demonstrates her techniques and unique process.  You will receive personalized feedback during the interactive demonstrations, and with an overhead camera, you’ll have the same view that Anne has as she paints!  The class is best for intermediate artists and up, as some watercolor experience is needed. Anne will not finish the painting in this 4-hour class, but she will be teaching and covering all the elements needed for you to complete the image on your own.   Please note that the example painting shown may be altered or different from the reference photo provided. Cheap Joe’s will record the workshop and upload the unlisted video to our YouTube channel.  Enrolled students will have unlimited, lifetime access to the video so you can watch again later at your convenience, and at your own pace.  Anne will also be available for email assistance after the workshop to finish your painting, or for critique. Students will be provided with a reference photo, pre-class instructions, and other information prior to the workshop.   Anne will not be providing a pattern drawing as she feels it’s important for you to see and feel the shapes as you put them on the paper yourself. Anne is teaching six 1-day Watercolor workshops in 2025 (January-May), each with a different subject and painting.  One is not a pre-requisite to take Anne’s other workshops.  You are welcome to take a single favorite, several, or all 6.

• Monday April 7, 11:30 am – 3:30 pm EST

Pre-class instructions and/or specific details will be emailed 1 week prior to the workshop.
