Sandy Watercolor Club
Our May Guest/Demonstrator:LaMar Walbeck
LaMar Walbeck continues to influence me by the way he applies a generous amount of paint and gets such vibrant paintings. His method of creating the effect he�s looking for seems to make me feel like I want to be in that painting. His mixing of the paints on the paper is probably the most influential part of his painting. He mixes very little on his palette and that is why his palette is small.
Lamar believes: �Paint a scene different than you see it, otherwise you might as well have taken a photo�.
LaMar keeps his paints fresh by putting the small palette case in the refrigerator. Now that idea has come from some serious experimenting. He buys most of his art supplies online at Art Xpress. His favorite brand of art supplies is Charles Reid, which you can find on the Artxpress.com web site.
If you�re interested in having a workshop through our club with LaMar, let Bobbie know. If you want to work directly through LaMar, contact him at 571-1425.
