    Instructor Paul Allen Taylor

    Watercolor Workshop – Paul Allen Taylor

    Saturday November 22nd 2025, 9:30-4:30

    Cost $80

    In this workshop, students will paint an 11 x 15 landscape guided by this
    value sketch. When working with value (the light and dark of color) one can
    better clarify the shapes and important parts of a painting. (Color does not
    yield value) Using a limited palette of Red Yellow and Blue abbreviates the
    mixing of colors. The color names are Aliz. Crimson, Cad Yellow Medium
    and Ultra Marine Blue.
    The workshop opens with a brief plan discussion of the painting approach
    and color choices. (As Paul has not painted this subject, he will talk about
    options to consider when beginning a painting). Afterward, Paul guides you
    in the drawing process until we are certain it’s ready for painting. After a
    lunch break, we will all paint together in the afternoon. Paul will explain
    and demonstrate his damp paper method as well. During the painting
    process, he will stop, you work and then he continues and so on.
    See the supplies list for specific items.

    Why Should You Shop Small?

    For small business owners, their business is not just a business — it’s an extension of who they are. Supporting the local businesses within your community not only keeps those businesses alive, but keeps the communities they serve thriving, as well. With more and more online shopping these small businesses are in jeopardy.

    This year, shop at your local bakery, restaurant, coffee shop, boutique or neighborhood store rather than shopping at a national chain. Shopping local matters because it affects the entire community. When more money is spent at local stores, more money stays within the community. For every dollar spent at a small business, 67 cents stays within your local economy. In addition to helping schools and other organizations through taxes, small businesses are also often the organizations that support local sports teams, charities and events. Plus, local retailers are more likely to hire locally than retail chains.
