Ted Nutall

Painting the Portrait in Watercolor from Photographs
May 31st - June 4th, 2010, Boone, NC

Though often viewed as intimidating and challenging, painting the figure can be just as approachable as a still life or landscape, and brings with its accomplishment, a unique satisfaction and reward. In his workshop, Ted will discuss with daily demonstrations, lectures, and one on one interaction with class members, the pitfalls and pluses of painting from photographic reference, as well as how to achieve spontaneity, character, and life in your figure paintings. As he shares with you his approach to the figure and some specific techniques he uses to bring excitement to his work, you will find your paintings taking on a new life and will have great fun in the process.

A graduate of Colorado Institute of Art, Ted is a figurative watercolorist whose painting expression was born out of his observation of people, his experience and travels as an illustrator for the US Air Force, and a 25 year career in graphic design. He is a signature member of the AWS, NWS, TWSA, Watercolor West and Western Federation of Watercolor Societies. He teaches watercolor workshops throughout the country. Ted has won many regional and national awards in juried exhibitions, including “Best in Show” and “1st Prize”.
