| Coming at the March 13th meeting Fran Parzanese will demonstrate watercolor techniques |
Fran Parzanese is an artist who paints primarily in her first love . . .
watercolor. She is a retired elementary school teacher who found the
passion for painting midway through her teaching career. She took
advantage of summer vacations to take workshops from at least 20
nationally known artists to develop her skill. She now maintains a studio at
the GoggleWorks Center for the Arts, where she also teaches watercolor.
She has been painting for 30 years and feels teaching helps expand her
students as well as her own knowledge. "I never have a dull moment in my
life because there are always new techniques to learn, new papers to try,
new colors to mix, and new subjects to establish a feeling for and portray
that feeling."
For our March meeting presentation Fran tells us "I will try to
help spark a love of watercolor by doing a demo of a floral still life, one of
my favorite subjects. I will try to complete a painting by using fast, clean
color in an impressionistic realist style. I will share my palette, design ideas,
and thinking process as I paint."
