A watercolor workshop with artist-instructor Pamela Rhodes: revisit and memorialize a favorite travel experience and vista. Paint that image in watercolor and then display it on your wall.
IN PERSON at ARCH — 1490 17th St, SF CA
Two Saturdays! July 18 and 25, 11am - 3pm
These two classes will provide the artist with a repeatable and simple approach to painting from photographs; keeping it simple to capture your special image and memory. Lectures, demonstrations, practice exercises, personal attention, and reference handouts are included. Students complete simple exercises between sessions.
PLEASE BRING PHOTOS TO WORK FROM: One to three travel photos that stir your creativity plus a color copy and a black and white copy. Images should fit inside an 8” x 10” mat.
We’ll cover:
Materials and Equipment: paper, pencils, paint and brushes (all materials included in the cost of the class- an approximately $50 value!)
Techniques: transferring images, composition, creating values, dealing with detail, capturing those memories!

About the instructor:
Pamela Rhodes believes everyone’s capable of uniquely and truly seeing their surroundings and transferring their observations onto paper and canvas. Initially a technical illustrator, she still paints realistically, and uses the wonders of watercolor to show off her models – people, places and prized possessions. She’s a member of the California Watercolor Association and San Francisco Women Artists, previously serving as a board member and VP/Development Director. A skilled portrait and landscape artist and a patient, prepared instructor, she teaches locally and in Tuscany each fall.
