Award-winning watercolor artist and instructor Mary Ann Beckwith’s premier DVD project is less about painting than it is about learning how to make “Art”. Entitled “The Brush and Beyond”, she takes us quickly into her “experimental” painting world where our results are always a source of inspiration, and if practiced, lead us to the next step in our artistic journey.
Beginning with the importance of keeping a sketchbook/journal, we are led by Beckwith into a popular workshop demonstration called the “Watercolor Cobweb Painting” in which we are shown one of the many ways of creating textural starts on a full sheet of 140 lb. watercolor paper or same sized Yupo. “Creating four or five painting starts in one session is a way to keep me interested and productive”, Beckwith says. “As color is personal, find the ones that really speak to you/motivate you: in other words, you will get better paintings if you use colors you like.”
As she does in all her popular workshops, Mary Ann wants artists to be willing to try something they have never done before. “My curiosity has always helped me get to the next place I need to be in creating my art. Painting is a gift at all times-sometimes you are painting things you don’t understand yet-give your painting time, don’t be critical and learn to enjoy the process.”
The video also includes many finishing ideas, taking a second look at what we have painted along with creating other textures and spray-painting techniques. 130 minutes with added gallery features.
Mary Ann Beckwith is a professor of art in the visual and performing arts department at Michigan Technological University. She has twice been the recipient of MTU’s Distinguished Teaching Award and her paintings have earned acclaim across the nation. She is a signature member of NWS, AWS and the International Society of Experimental Artists.
