May 31, 2017

The Hill Country Arts Foundation is proud to once again offer a summer watercolor workshop with renowned artist, Ken Hosmer. The workshop will take place Monday through Thursday, June 19 – 22.

Ken Hosmer is known for his unique use of color, and as a skilled teacher, highly respected for a calm, supportive demeanor. He has taught art workshops for over 30 years, and has been a guest workshop instructor for more than 100 art organizations across the United States and in exotic locations such as Italy, Greece and Mexico.

In this watercolor workshop, students will watch as Ken reveals ‘color secrets’ and design ideas each day. He offers guidelines which encourage you to creatively interpret painting subjects in your own style. Painting demonstrations emphasize free, spontaneous painting and cover a variety of subjects, including landscape, flowers, human figures, or animals.

Ken clearly explains his artistic method as he paints, organizes ideas into simple terms, and in a positive and gentle manner, skillfully pinpoints and verbalizes exactly what your painting needs for improvement. This makes the class ideal for beginning and advanced students. A typical day might include demonstration and lecture in the morning with class work time and individual help in the afternoon. The workshop ends with an uplifting and informative critique session.

Please call the HCAF Visual Arts Center for details or to register for this workshop at (830) 367-5120.
