Wes Waugh

The Lay of the Landscape
June 1 - 5, 2009, Boone, NC

Wes paints landscapes based on the methods espoused by the O’Hara and Whitney Schools of Watercolor. However, new materials and approaches find ways into his work in an effort to capture the essence and the “texture” of various subjects in watermedia. Wes clearly outlines the factors and considerations that result in successful, expressive paintings. He demonstrates and discusses the processes one must embrace to create them and throws in many visuals, including a history of watercolor. Wes’s workshop combines a “truckload” of information and resource material with a sense of humor and a playful, creative approach.

Wes is a Boone, NC artist, workshop instructor and presenter. He began painting at age 12 and is currently noted as one of the Southeast Region’s leading landscape watercolorists. His body of work now includes forays into digital media as well as painting and he is a co-founder of Bear Trail Studio Partners, a fine art reproduction and art products company that serves the home décor industry. Wes held his 10th solo exhibition in August 2008 and has been teaching workshops for several years now. His work is dominated by bold color washes and the use of a variety of techniques and surfaces. www.weswaugh.com
