Take a chance! This workshop is all about getting in touch with your creative side. More than any other art medium, watercolor compels you to experiment and discover surprises that will make you fall in love with this process. It comes close to those early experiences of working with clay or finger painting, before we had preconceived ideas of what art “should look like”. We will cover basics for beginners as well as being a refresher/jumpstart for those with previous experience. You’ll get “your feet wet” by using one of my watercolor templates to paint from. Using simple shapes and color schemes will have you feeling like a pro in no time. In three sessions, you’ll have a finished painting to take home and show off. I guarantee lots of laughs, encouraging tips and a wonderful sense of accomplishment!

| Instructor: | Peggy Ellis |
| Instructor Bio: |  PEGGY ELLIS, a prolific artist like her late father, Ray Ellis, now makes her home in Charleston, SC. Her studio overlooks the magnificent downtown harbor, which has become a definable part of her latest art series, capturing the dramatic break of day and the beautiful rising of the moon at night. Well respected and collected nationwide, Peggy is represented by Reinert Fine Art, 179 King Street, Charleston. She is also a passionate teacher with a loyal following of students; eager to share her love of oil and watercolor painting alike. TESTIMONIALS: "I have taken both oil and watercolor classes from Peggy in the last several years. She is a knowledgeable, enthusiastic and very encouraging instructor. She presents challenging and varied subject matter that is interesting and provides the opportunity to improve painting skills. Peggy works tirelessly during a class, and provides clear and helpful feedback to her students" Marilynn G. "Peggy is a blast to work with. I always recommend her as a teacher to students who say "I am too scared to paint." She is such a positive force in the workshop, truly the perfect teacher for people that don't know where to start. Peggy continues to inspire her students with her passion for the Low Country landscape and encouraging instructions. Whether you are "too scared" to start or an accomplished artist looking to evolve your practice, I highly recommend Peggy." Dylan Sell, Arts Coordinator, Palmetto Bluff Conservancy "Peggy recently conducted an oil painting workshop for our Art League. She also presented a program for which we had one of the largest number of people ever to attend. Many of those afterward took her workshop. She taught us to use the palette knife and we all were very pleased with our efforts. Peggy has teh ability to put her students at ease and her manner is very encouraging to artists of all skill levels. She is very excited about her art and shares her knowledge and experience readily. I hope to take another class with her." Jean K., Programs Coordinator Visit Peggy Ellis's Website |
