MAKING THE BEST OF YOUR DESIGNS

Shirley Nichols - April 1, 2024 6:30pm-8:00pm

Color Concepts

Artist statement:

I have loved art since my mom and I painted together. It was not until 1995 that I finally decided to learn to paint. My first art class introduced me to all mediums but I fell in love with watercolor.

I now paint in watercolors, gouache and water-based oils.

I am self- taught through books, video’s and workshops. I exhibit locally with Society of Watercolors Artists, The Fort Worth 15, and an Arlington Group of friends.

My goal, in teaching, is to demonstrate art concepts which will guide the artist in bringing their artwork to life.

Demo Outline:
