Ted Nuttall is a graduate of Colorado Instituteof Art and has had a twenty five year career ingraphic design. His work as an illustrator and fineartist has won numerous national and regionalawards including the American Watercolor Societyand Watercolor West. Ted is a signature member ofthe National Watercolor Society. He teaches portraiture and figure painting in watercolor at ScottsdaleArtistsSchool in Arizona and conducts workshopsthroughout the country and abroad. In this workshop, Ted will share with you specific techniques heuses to bring spontaneity, character and life to hispaintings. There will be an initial introduction andslide show then he will demonstrate using a previ-ously completed drawing. There will be a brief critique at the close of the day.

"Although I will spend some time in the workshopdiscussing drawing and the value and essentials of agood drawing, our focus will be on painting. Tomaximize painting time please have completed drawings ready for class. I would recommend that younot paint someone you know. The pressure of trying to get a likeness of someone you know can beconfining and frustrating. Avoid using a photograph taken with a flash. The camera flash makesthe light on the subject go flat and eliminates half-tone detail that is important to a good drawing andpainting. Don't get too involved with complicatedbackgrounds. Make the figure the dominant element. I recommend that you start with quartersheet size (11 x 15) or at the largest, half sheet size(15 x 22) depending on your comfort level. Do acontour drawing with enough detail to indicate allof the information you will need to do the painting.Be sure to invest time in your drawing. A gooddrawing will really pay off in terms of getting a goodfoundation for your painting."
