- Watercolor Pencil Sketches PDF Supply List
Susan has been an artist all of her life. She pursued her love of art with studies at the University of Houston and has since explored many facets of the visual arts. For the last thirty five years, she has applied her artistic talents to the world of professional interior design. Susan’s design projects have won numerous awards and she is recognized as a leader in the industry. As part of her interior design practice, Susan has done renderings for her clients’ projects in several mediums.
Continually pursuing her painting, she has worked in oils and acrylics for many years. Having shied away from watercolor painting because of the scary stories she heard about how hard and unforgiving the medium was, she decided it was time to face the “scary stuff”. She was excited to find watercolors came rather easily to her after reading several books that included step by step demonstrations. She has become obsessed with the medium and has shared her knowledge and enthusiasm teaching watercolor painting classes for Binder’s Art Supply in Atlanta and for students in her studio. Her class topics range from “Fearless Watercolor Landscape Painting” for beginners and a follow up class for those with a little watercolor experience. Susan has offered classes also in “Painting en Plein Air with
Watercolors.” She is now teaching a new class called “Color in Exciting Transparent Watercolors” exploring not only color theory but mixing colors not only on the palette but also by merging colors wet into wet and with layered glazes.
In all classes, Susan stresses the importance of using artist quality paint, brushes and paper. A good first experience for beginners encourages them to continue in the pursuit of watercolor painting and high quality supplies makes that possible. Winsor and Newton Artist paints are one of her mainstays selecting only transparent and semi transparent paint for her palette.
Susan has a website for watercolor enthusiasts that includes Mini Lessons, Class Schedules and examples of her watercolor paintings. The site is www.watercolorwiz.com.

Amanda Lovett
“With my never ending desire to explore new possibilities, I find myself looking at life with increasing wonder as I grow as an artist. I am surrounded by a world of beautiful moments; my desire is to express the simple details that make those moments exceptional.”
Amanda Lovett was born in 1963 in Atlanta, Georgia, and grew up in nearby Austell before settling in Cartersville. She has always had a fascination with drawing. As a child, she could not sit still without pencil and paper in hand, sketching whatever she saw.
Very active in the art world throughout high school, Lovett won several awards including a place in the Georgia Governor’s Honors Program in art. This resulted in her attending Valdosta State University for an intense six-week art education program.
She attended college at the Atlanta Portfolio Center where she studied art direction, graphic design, photography and illustration. After graduation, she joined the advertising firm of McDonald and Little in Atlanta, serving as Art Director, working with clients such as Coca-Cola, Simmons Beautyrest and Wachovia Bank. After leaving McDonald and Little, she founded Image Impact, a full service-advertising agency specializing in print advertising and brand development.
While still working in advertising, Lovett considers herself fortunate to have studied watercolor landscape under Frank Broadhurst. Making the decision to be a full time painter and switching to oils, she has continued seeking instruction, studying with David Leffel, Bill Davidson and Peggy Everett as well as several local instructors. Lovett continues her art education by participating in workshops, studying books and videos, and visiting museums and galleries. Any opportunity to learn is never overlooked.
Currently represented by Galleries in the Southeast, Park City Utah and Jackson Hole Wyoming, Lovett also shows her work in regional fine art shows, winning numerous awards. Her work has been accepted into National Oil Painters of America, Paint America National show and Greenwich SmallWorks National show in which she was chosen for the top 40 and granted a publishing contract 2 years in a row. For three years, Lovett served as a planner and facilitator for Festival 34º84º, a juried fine arts festival in Cartersville. She has also served as vice president of her local art guild and volunteers for art projects with area youth.
Lovett’s style is realism with an appreciation of impressionism. She has a fascination with light, reflection and movement, and whether she paints a landscape, a still life or a portrait, it’s always an intriguing journey in which she hopes to include the viewer.

She is drawn to the Naturalists painters of the 19th c.

Her ideas are influenced through the scrolls, paintings and decorative arts of Asian Cultures (all periods).

Ken Muenzenmayer - PDF Syllabi and Supply List
Ken Muenzenmayer attended Ringling School of Art and Design in Sarasot, Florida, and worked as a freelance commercial artist. Growing tired of black and white camera ready illustration, he turned his focus to color and began his career as a landscape painter in the late 70’s. He chose acrylics for their quick dry time, allowing him to develop his own unique style of painting by alternating layer of color washes and dry brush on absorbent, textured surfaces. The simplified forms in his landscapes , along with the luminous layers of color and light define his style of painting as “interpretive realism.”
Listed in Who’s Who in American Art, his work is collected nationwide. He, also, teaches workshops across the country, and, along with his wife, Karen Vernon, owns and operates The Gallery at Round Top in Round Top, Texas.
The fracturing of the drybrush technique and the unifying effect of the glazing creates a visual blending and luminous depth of color. Using this process is a starting point, I then let the emotions take over; just as a musician draws from his technical ability to improvise, hoping to create a resonant and provocative effect. www.muenzenmayer.com.

Basil Watson was born and educated in Kingston, Jamaica, where he studied at the Edna Manley College of the Visual and Performing Arts (formerly, Jamaica School of Art), concluding his studies with Distinction in 1980.

Modeling however provides the most flexibility and spontaneity and is his main medium. Since his first public commission in 1982, he has created more than twenty public sculptures located in stadiums, universities, churches, and sculpture parks, mainly in Jamaica and as far afield as China, 2004, and most recently in Guatemala, 2010.
