PAL and LAA’s October 2024 General Meeting
Monday, October 14, 2024 at 7.30pm
Program: Portrait in Primary Colors with Jeannie Vodden
Venue: Cultural Arts Building, 4477 Black Avenue, Pleasanton
This event will be hosted by the Pleasanton Art League.
Jeannie Vodden Teaching for CWA
Jeannie Vodden’s interest in the variety of textures and patterns found in both nature and in man-made objects is the starting point for her portraits and floral/still lifes. She adds natural light, sometimes a dash of fantasy, and pulls it all together with a limited palette. Her preference for the complex play of form and light is balanced by her use of a very simple palette. Starting with only three colors, she glazes many transparent layers. Each layer modifies the last, adding a multi-leveled glow. Though the process takes some patience, the visual effects are revealed in an unusual feeling of depth of color, perfectly suited to transparent watercolor.
Jeannie is a popular instructor of watercolor. For over 25 years she has taught workshops throughout California and in Wyoming, Nevada and Washington State and
recently in Georgia. She enjoys demonstrating her watercolor techniques to art and community organizations and finds the challenge of judging art competitions rewarding and inspiring.
Jeannie will talk about her process of using a limited palette in portraits, sharing her process of layering wet on dry paper to develop volume, detail and translucence. She uses Winsor & Newton paints: Winsor Yellow, Permanent Rose and Winsor Blue Green Shade, all staining transparent colors.
