A new title at Creative Catalyst: Jane Paul Angelhart’s WATERCOLOR PORTRAIT
January 8, 2008
We are pleased to add add a NEW DVD Workshop to our “From Other Production Company’s” list, THE WATERCOLOR PORTRAIT by Jane Paul Angelhart (portrait of a young boy).
Her approach to watercolor portraiture is paced and cautious. Her goal is to achieve a likeness of her subject; a small boy that is vibrant, clean and transparent. The workshop is divided into four sections.
1) You begin with the introduction which also acts as a gallery of her work.
2) She reviews materials.
3) Presents an exercise to help you become familiar with your pigments.
4) Finally, you join Jane in the main body of the workshop. The image is already drawn on the paper. After a quick discussion on how she uses a computer to enlarge her reference photo to show more information, Jane begins by painting the child’s features.
Jane uses what she refers to as “circus colors”. Collectively the colors make an energetic portrait, perfect for her young subject. Jane tackles small areas in an unhurried manner. You have a very clear view of every move she makes and there are frequent insets of the subject photo. The DVD is 98 min. in length.
