Watercolor Workshop with Internationally renowned artist, Marcelo Daldoce

Thurs.-Sun., June 20-23 (9am-4pm) $465

Marcelo Daldoce (b. 1979) is a Brazilian artist, living and working in New York City. In 2016, he acquired his MFA from the New York Academy of Art, with generous funding from the John’s Brady Award and J. Rose & J.L. Weinberg Charitable Trust Scholarship. He has shown in museums in Austria and Bahia/Brazil, art fairs, and private collections. He has been in group shows in Brazil, NYC, Sotheby’s, among other galleries internationally.

This not-to-miss, 4-day class focuses on a loose watercolor approach, similar to that of John S. Sargent’s style. The goal is to transmit and exemplify what you see in nature to the paper in front of you, learning to simplify and avoid overworking.

Students will be guided through step-by-step demonstrations: showing how to draw, color mix, use tonal values, control brushwork, and create a composition. In order to achieve its freshness, the basics of watercolor must be understood. Marcelo decodes this difficult medium in parts, to help the student learn to let the medium “paint itself”.
Classes begin in the studio, and end in Plein Air in picturesque outdoor locations around our area. This course is great for beginner and intermediate artists who are looking to take their watercolor painting to the next level.
