Presidents Message July is here and we are halfway through another year. I cant believe how fast time flies. I certainly hope you all had a Happy 4th. The NWS All-Member Exhibition is fabulous. Don Andrews, AWS, our juror did an outstanding job both in his selection and in the awards. If you havent been by to see the exhibition you definitely should make it a point to go by. A big thanks goes to all the volunteers who made this show possible, both through donations and through hard work, especially to Penny Hill, our dedicated show chair. A big thanks also goes to all who entered the show. The quality of our entries was super and made Dons job quite difficult. Congratulations to those of you who were juried into the exhibition. It is truly a wonderful exhibition. Your paintings were beautifully hung and lighted. Our Award Presentation and Opening was well attended and several paintings have already been sold. Don Andrews, AWS, did a wonderful one-day demonstration and three-day workshop while he was in San Pedro for the Award Jurying and our members really enjoyed his dedicated teaching. Thank You Don. The July 27th deadline, for our Annual Exhibition Image Entry is approaching quickly. You should have received your prospectus by now; if not you can download one from our web page: www.nationalwatercolorsociety.org. We are using Cafe to upload images to but are also still accepting CDs. Uploading instructions for Cafe are also on the web page. Mark your calendar right now so you dont miss the deadline. Over $32,000 in awards will be presented again this year. Donations towards our Gallery Staff Fund are always welcome. We definitely dont have enough volunteers so we need to hire staff and the budget for this is non-existent. Several members have donated to the fund when they would love to sit but cant because of distance or personal reasons, so instead they have made a donation to pay for a day of staffing. This is a big help. Want to donate? Any amount helps. You can send in a check, specifying Gallery Staff Fund, to: NWS, 915 S. Pacific Avenue, San Pedro, CA 90731 Want to come play with us.... We need volunteers for many jobs including Web Designer, Membership and Hospitality. We have lots of other smaller jobs as well we would love to fill. Interested, email me at NWSPresident@gmail.com. Have a great summer. Linda A Doll, President National Watercolor Society

 Member Show

BY PENNY HILL, DIRECTOR EXHIBITIONS

The National Watercolor Society has three exhibitions a year. The All Members Exhibition is in the spring, the Annual Open Exhibition is in the autumn, and the Travel Show tours the country for a year. We are going into our 93rd year of exhibitions and have plans for many more projects and exhibtions as we apporach our centennial. The procedure for entering them has become easier and less expensive through the wonders of technology, but it is the human factor that defines the heart of NWS. We have come a long way from the group of feisty painters who founded us, growing into the crews of volunteers that negotiate exhibitions and financial concerns, and who put blood, sweat and tears into renovating our gallery and teaching space. The future is a blank sheet of paper; so all you artists, as well as lovers of the art of watercolor, think about making yourselves known to us and share your talents to support the various teams working to make it all come together. With technology we now have virtual meetings, and there are small windows of deadline-specific opportunities. The more volunteers the greater the input of ideas and the smaller the workload. When asked by a small girl at the show why I work for others to show their work, I replied: The rewards of making new friends, fine tuning my perspective of the world, and, oh yeah, last but not least, its FUN. Come join the party! Please contact Penny: We will find the right fit for your time and talent. nwsexhibitions.@gmail.com

 Don Andrews Workshop

BY JAN GODACHY

his was one of the best workshops I have ever taken. I found Don to be warm, genuine, down-to-earth, and caring of everyone in the workshop as he shares his passion for painting. His first goal is to capture the lights, paint through the drawing, do a value sketch and let the light be where the interest is. Start with light colors and get rid of everything that youre not going to keep white. I had never painted like this before but it does help for establishing a middle ground and connects shapes. He doesnt fuss with painting through the pencil lines. I cant tell you how many times he came over to me and said put that photo down and just paint, youve already done your drawing. He said; we are the director and must arrange the stage, aim the spotlights and tell the audience where to look. Ive read dozens of books but never quite had certain things explained to me the way Don explains them. Also visually seeing how he can change colors constantly while the wash is still wet. He said he can put warm

to think mud was my middle name. It never even occurred to me to separate your palette area into two wells when mixing; one for warms and the other for cool colors. He said to watch the page and find the answer in this painting. He said the majority of the painting is done in mid-values, a good painting has light and darks but they will be the minority accents. He said to resist the temptation to go in too fast with the darks. I for one want to get to the wires on telephone poles or tree branches far too quickly. There were so many helpful tips about mixing color, making greys (moody, cool, warm, tropical greys), whatever you do dont just pick a grey out of a tube. I think it was Robert Wood he quoted saying the best colors in my painting are found; meaning they did not come from a tube but are blended on the paper. Hard edges, soft edges, lost edges . Just watching how he controls the amount of water with a tissue in one hand; paint, adjust, add color, adjust value, and soften edges. These are things you dont necessarily find in a book and must see. Now if only I can break some of my bad habits and apply this new-found knowledge!

over warm or cool over cool (colors) all day, but its when you go back and forth mixing warm and cool that you get mud. I used

 ARTISTRY AT ITS SOURCE

BY KATHARINE A. CARTWRIGHT, NWS

Katharine A. Cartwright, NWS, NWWS, MWS, is a nationally recognized award winning artist/art instructor, and a recognized researcher/lecturer with an MS in Earth Science. Annually, the students who fly or drive in for instruction have the same expectation: to make a break-through, to find meaning and relevance in what they paint, and to make their work unique. Therefore, we dont paint for a few days. We talk. Rather, I should say that my student talks and I listen and ask pertinent questions. I allow plenty of time for reflection and then we engage in even more conversations. Once a student clearly identifies the intended idea for a body of work, painting begins. This process cannot be rushed. Without depth and clarity of thought, there is no chance for a breakthrough that is meaningful and relevant. My process begins in the same manner that I teach my students. For instance, The Laws of Nature is a series of watercolor paintings that began two years ago after I spent much time reflecting on the idea. The overarching concept for the series is to comment on the physical laws that constrain mans attempt to harness and utilize the energy and materials of the universe; hence, making impossible our quest to create the perfect machine run by perpetual motion. The challenge in creating this series is to rely upon my intuition to design each painting rather than physical references. The result is mechanical mindscapes that express individual physical laws. Each one is unique, and the series is entirely like no other. This is only achieved by trusting and following my intuition while rejecting, as much as is possible, any outside influence. To accomplish this, I spend hours to days contemplating a single law of physics. When a notion or image pops into my head, I quickly draft it onto a full sheet of watercolor paper in one or two hours. At the end of that time all the forms that will appear in the final painting have been drawn. This stage must be accomplished quickly so that my intuition controls my hand. Next, I develop a color strategy that unifies the complex design. To do this, I select only four to five hues. By limiting my palette I am able to unify the painting and create a more harmonious appearance despite the complexity of the competing forms. Color and value are employed in a manner enhances the flow path for the eye of the viewer. Although the painting style for this series is precise, I work very fast to facilitate intuitive control over the work. It is my reliance upon intuition that yields the best results and elevates my work from largely derivative to unique and meaningful. My voice, not anothers, is expressed. This is what makes the work unique and meaningful. Painting in a series allows both my voice and technique to mature. This particular series, which now numbers twenty-five works, will continue for many years to come and will end only when I have nothing more to say about it. KAC June 2012

The Laws of Nature Series

oted art critic, Arthur Danto, once stated that there are two necessary criteria for something to be deemed a work of art it must have meaning and it must embody that meaning. If that is true, then the process of making art must begin with the artists idea, or concept. Without that, we painters are prone to rely upon happy accidents, mimicry, and technique. Reliance upon happy accidents leads to frustration and hinders mastery. Mimicry prevents us from speaking in our own unique voice, which is really the only chance we have to produce authentic original work. Reliance upon technique makes us good painters or technicians, but should not be confused with artistry. In order to produce original and meaningful art, it is important to recognize how we, as individuals, uniquely perceive the world around and inside of us. This requires introspection and a complete willingness to trust our own instincts. Quieting the voices of others, the influences weve come to trust aside from ourselves over the years, is essential to this process. It is also a very difficult step because, from youth, we are trained to follow the advice and opinions of others in authority. We learn to trust others above ourselves to develop habits, attitudes, and skills. But, in making art, there is no greater authority than oneself. Only we, as individuals, know our internal thoughts and perceptions. And, as artists, expressing our unique selves is the greatest contribution we can make to the global dialogue in art. It is also the most personally rewarding. Earlier, I used the term quieting the voices of others rather than silencing. The voices of our instructors and peers are essential to our development as artists. We carry those lessons with us throughout our lives. However, the process of maturation requires each of us to develop our own voice, which means that the voices of others must become quieter. This is why I paint alone, silently and intently, following the guidance of my intuition. As a painting and creativity instructor, I give great consideration to how I influence my students while helping them find their own voices. I believe that effective teaching begins with listening. In other words, my students teach me how to teach them if Im more concerned about what they have to say rather than imposing my ideas upon them. This is a time consuming but very necessary step in the process.

NWS WORKSHOP AND DEMONSTRATION SCHEDULE

915 So Pacific Ave, San Pedro, CA 90731

Kathleen Conover

Demo: Sunday, August 18, 2013 Workshop: Mon, Tues, Wed; Aug 19, 20 & 21, 2013
As a Master Artist, Kathleen is frequently asked to jury exhibitions and teach workshops across the country. Her travels around the world continue to enrich and inspire her work. She paints with openness and honesty to her subject matter guided by intense observation and deep personal reflection. Her unique designs are rich in symbolic expression, and observed with multiple layers both literally and figuratively. Living over 30 years on the shores of Lake Superior in Michigans Upper Peninsula, she is continually inspired by an intimate relationship with a dramatic nature: its severity and beauty, its abstract forms and concepts and its natural complexities.

10am-Noon

Dean Mitchell

Lecture: Sunday, September 29, 2013

Critically acclaimed artist Dean Mitchell expresses through this body of work what it is to be rich without material wealth. Mitchell captures the soul of his subject matter and comments on society through symbolism and his rich, textural, luminescent painting style. Winner of more than 450 awards for painting, Mitchell has been called a modern-day Vermeer. Dean describes himself as an American painter interested in contemporary subjects. I think a lot of what I like to paint has to do with growing up poor and without a father in my life. I am always searching for a sense of place and intimacy in my work. Sometimes that doesnt have mass appeal. We are fortunate to be able to present this opportunity to our fellow artists.

10am- Noon

Linda Doll

10am-Noon

Demo: Sunday November 10, 2013

People and Still Life Subjects that hint at the person just outside the picture plane are Lindas favorite painting subjects. She portrays them without flattery or glamour in an aura of quietude, stressing their dignity and individuality. She combines areas of flat color with highly skilled composition and design to create an attitude of introspection when depicting her subjects. Linda Doll is a good humored, energetic instructor who stresses the importance of making personal design decisions at each stage of the painting. She has developed a unique and effective teaching style that stimulates optimism, enthusiasm, confidence and creative excitement within her students. Linda will be demonstrating one of her People paintings.
