She studied communication design at Northern Virginia Community College and color theory, watercolor, and drawing at the Art League School in Alexandria, Virginia. Since moving to Baton Rouge, she has taught watercolor with the Art Guild of Louisiana, as well as Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at LSU, LSU Leisure Courses, private lessons, and with other art organizations. She has most recently become a published illustrator of children’s books. You will discover how to create vibrant secondary and subtle secondary colors, and beautiful neutrals, using a limited pallet. We’ll make several color charts, that you can use regularly. You’ll learn to use your colors effectively. Roberta will demonstrate the color mixing and discuss uses of colors and values. Participants will provide their own supplies for the workshop (see supplies list). This is my basic list of supplies. Please try to obtain professional quality paints. I like to use DaVinci and Grumbacher Academy (an excellent inexpensive brand to start). It may be necessary to use a website or catalog to obtain all needed supplies. I recommend Dick Blick, as they have a big watercolor supply selection. Mo’s Art Supply is the best local art store, 4573 Bennington Ave., 225-831-4870. If you are unsure about what to purchase, we will discuss supplies and answer any questions at the first class. Any questions prior to that, contact me at: Email Roberta Loflin.
