They keep an eye on the neighborhood. And they’re very graphic. That is\, they’re very striking on the page. Learn to create silhouettes of these canny creatures in different poses. Then paint a dead tree and populate it with a murder of crows. You’ll discover that the birds are more colorful than they seem.  \nSupply List Crows – A Study in Silhouettes \nTuition: Members:$110/Non-Members: $135 \nAbout the Instructor \nDoris Ettlinger: A graduate of RISD and the University of Wisconsin – Madison; teacher/coach of the Musconetcong Watercolor Group in Hampton NJ.

Working with a clothed model\, we’ll warm up with gesture drawings\, then paint short poses with one color for the shadow. Eventually\, we will paint a longer pose exploring how light interacts with the figure\, revealing its form and details. We’ll let colors blend where the values are the same. I will try to channel what I learned from two masters\, Mel Stabin and Charles Reid. Their figures were full of light and life. \nTuition: Members:$110/Non-Members: $135 \nAbout the Instructor \nDoris Ettlinger: A graduate of RISD and the University of Wisconsin – Madison; teacher/coach of the Musconetcong Watercolor Group in Hampton NJ.
