Artist-in-residence Veronica Funk’s primary focus for several years has been creating acrylic on canvas portrait paintings of women. Her work has included a project titled Nasty Women, which involved painting 100 portraits in just as many days, and her current project, Woman's Work, shares the contributions of women in our society. The goal of every one of her portrait projects is to celebrate women. Recently, Veronica has been transitioning from acrylics to watercolours, using both wood and paper as her substrates.

During this in-person workshop, Veronica will discuss her method of creating an abstract acrylic background and adding a portrait to it. She will also demonstrate how to paint directly on wood using watercolour. In addition, we will explore how to simplify complex subject matter and create interest by layering transparent watercolours while creating portraits on paper. This workshop will be a fun and supportive environment suitable for all skill levels. All materials needed for the workshop will be provided. Maximum 10 participants.
