SUMMARY:September 15\, 2022 In Person Members Meeting and Demonstration! Sheila Reigh will be our artist demonstrator!
DESCRIPTION:After a brief Members Meeting\, we will have our in person demonstration by local artist and beloved teacher\, Sheila Reigh.\n  \n\nSheila Reigh\, a WNY native residing in Tonawanda\, first joined NFWS in 2007\, and is a signature member and former NFWS Secretary.  She has BAs in Elem Ed and Psych\, graduating 1st in her class from Mercyhurst University in 1981.  After 12 years of formal school teaching in grades K-8 and H.S. English; and then part-time medical transcriptionist\, proofreader\, calligraphy teacher\, and summer camp art director; she made the switch to full-time self-employment as a professional face painter\, artist\, and art teacher. She currently teaches watercolor and drawing at the Tonawanda Senior Center\, accepts several commissioned projects in various art media each year\, and is a premiere face painter at many private and public events in WNY. \n\n\n“After studying artistic concepts such as composition\, perspective\, color theory\, and realism for several years at Partners in Art in North Tonawanda and elsewhere\, I wanted to try a more challenging and surprising medium. So I dove into watercolor!  Under mentors Gail Bille\, Jody Ziehm\, Margaret Martin\, Kathleen Giles\, and many others\, I have found joy in the fact that I can never duplicate the same result twice.  I love that watercolor can take ME for a ride!” \n\n\n“I love the surprising blends of colors\, the dramatic whites and darks\, creating color harmony and balance\, and even the challenges of ‘timing’ and ‘how-much-water-how-much-paint’.  In my ‘teacher brain’\, I am always striving to better  break down into steps and explain\, this wonderful world of watercolor to others.  I continually improve my curriculum so it works best for my students. I love painting from nature best\, but I paint many subjects so as to give myself and my students experience with a wide range of forms\, color palettes\, and textures.  It’s so rewarding to find that all those art concepts finally DO merge together to create a whole\, no matter what medium I am working in.  No telling what I will paint next! \nWe will be together again after a summer break\, and what a treat to host Sheila Reigh!\nCome and enjoy!\n\n

SUMMARY:November Zoom Members Meeting and Demonstration by Gord Jones
DESCRIPTION:A Zoom Event\, Thursday\, November 17\, 2022\, 7 – 9 pm.\nAfter a brief Members Meeting we will welcome Gord Jones from Algonquin Highlands in Ontario\, Canada. (We will send a link to this Zoom event to all members on the Monday before the event.) Join us for an evening of inspiration.\nYou can see Gord’s demonstration\, as recorded\, on our Niagara Frontier Watercolor Society YouTube Channel!\n\n\n\n\nGord is a watercolour artist residing in the Algonquin Highlands where he has his studio\, White Pine Studio. He and his family moved from Stoney Creek after cottaging in Hali- burton for 25 years. \nGord is an elected member of the Canadian Society of Painters of Watercolour and the Society of Canadian Artists. He is also a member of the ECOAA\, IWS\, Niagara Frontier Watercolor Society\, Haliburton Arts Council\, and The Rail’s End Gallery in Haliburton. He has participated in the Studio Tour – Haliburton Highlands for the past 3 years. \nGord has been drawing and painting for over 35 years. After experiencing many different mediums such as oils\, acrylics\, even egg tempera\, he always returned to his greatest love – transparent watercolour. He is inspired by the surrounding landscape. The scenery in Haliburton has been a great source of inspiration for most of his paintings. His approach is to interpret the essence of his chosen subject rather than producing detailed likenesses of actual places. Watercolour allows Gord to transfer the light and shadow that he photo- graphs in real life to the painting. With a fluidity of colours\, Gord combines impressionistic strokes and semi-abstract techniques to elicit memories of place and time in his transpar- ent watercolour landscapes. He paints mainly landscapes\, cityscapes\, and industrial scenes. \nGord teaches watercolour painting in his studio and at The Haliburton School of Art & De- sign. He also does workshops for art groups throughout Ontario. \nwww.watercoloursbygordjones.com \n\n\n\n \n

SUMMARY:Members Meeting and Demonstration by Graham Berry\, Thursday\, January 19th at 4 pm.
DESCRIPTION:After a brief Members’ Meeting NFWS will be treated to a demonstration by British Watercolor Artist Graham Berry \nGraham Berry Artist statement. \n“My paintings are inspired by the effect of light and shadow on our environment\, creating dynamic shapes and colours\, I especially enjoy painting people going about their everyday lives and I hope to inspire you to see future paintings everywhere you look. \nIn this demo I will show you how I simplify scenes\, to see things just as shapes and colours\, eliminate unnecessarydetail and take the fear out of painting people.Share with you my passion for watercolour painting and to pass on the knowledge and skills gained from over 40 years as a professional Illustrator and Artist. At the end of the  2 hour demo i will have a completed paintingthat will inspire you and give you confidence to put people in your own paintings. \nHappy painting.” \n  \nAbout me. \n   I studied Graphic Design at Blackpool College of Art\, and later studied Illustration at Wimbledon College of Art. After graduating in 1971 I was employed as the Illustrator at a small design studio in Soho\, London and has gone on to have a very successful illustration career.\n  I’ve had to move with the times and all my commercial illustration is now done digitally. It was this fact and the downturn in the economy  in 2010 that allowed me time to concentrate on watercolour painting. I’ve only recently began to consider myself a painter\, although I’ve drawn and painted most days for the past 40+ years it was as an illustrator\, any painting I did in my spare time was done to promote my illustration career. It as only been since my illustration work was now 100% digital that I could see myself as a fine artist. So I only consider I started my career as a painter 5 or 6 years ago. I finally retired from illustration in early 2017 and now concentrate fully on painting and teaching. I have recently had a studio built in my garden\, from where I will teach workshops to small group of students ( 4 max )\, there will be lots of one to one tuition.  \n  My paintings are inspired by the effect of light and shadow on our environment\, creating dynamic shapes and colours\, I especially enjoy painting people going about their everyday lives. My experience working as an Illustrator has refined my drawing ability that is the foundation to my work\, I believe the ability to draw is fundamental to my painting. I’m always on the look out for images that will make interesting paintings\, I try to take my camera with me at all times just in case I see something that appeals. At other times I will go to a specific place or event with the intention of getting material for painting\, usually I will do a number of paintings from those photos or sketches\, at the moment most of my paintings are studio based. \n  After years working as an illustrator\, with the restrictions of working to a brief\, it feels great to be painting for myself and when a painting is not going as I would like I now have the freedom to rip it up and start afresh. Somedays you feel you’ll never paint anything decent but you’ve just got to work through it\, every painting you produce adds to your knowledge of what works or doesn’t work. Painting with watercolour is never easy and every painting provides a fresh challenge\, it’s a very exciting medium to work with and when a painting turns out as you would like it’s very satisfying. \n  Over the last couple of years I have given demos and workshops to various Art Groups in the UK and in the summers of 2015 & 2016 I taught a 3 day workshops in the South of France for Rochemaure Aquarelle. \n In the spring of 2017 I together with my wife Pauline embarked on a watercolour workshop tour of the USA & Canada. I taught 9 workshops in 9 weeks\, three 2 day\, five 3 day and one 4 day\, a total of 25 days\, a lot of preparation! The workshop tour began in Illinois and then on to Texas\, South Carolina\, Arkansas\, Maryland\, Edmonton ( Canada )\, California and finally Panama City\, Florida. \n It was not all work and we did manage to visit some iconic destinations\, Dallas\, Memphis\, New York and San Francisco\, it really was a brilliant experience\, so much so that we are planning a return workshop tour in 2019! \n

SUMMARY:Members Meeting and Demonstration by Andy Evansen! Oh Boy!!
DESCRIPTION:Following a brief Members Meeting we will have the pleasure of a demonstration by immensely popular Minnesota watercolor artist Andy Evansen. \n This will be a Zoom event\, held at  4 pm  on Thursday\, March 16th. A Zoom link will be sent by email to all NFWS Members on the Monday before the Thursday evening Meeting.    \nAndy Evansen’s interest in art started in childhood\, and he can’t recall a time when he wasn’t drawing. Once he began painting\, he found himself attempting to capture the landscape with an economy of brushstroke evident in the work of the British watercolor artists he admired.  In addition\, he was impressed with the way those artists seemed to capture everyday scenes in such a way that revealed a hidden beauty\, subjects that many would simply pass by. \n“When I decided to begin painting 30 years ago\, there was never any question in my mind what medium I would choose.  Watercolor has always fascinated me; the effects of pigment and water mixing on the paper are so unique and challenging and the results so beautiful.  It is also the perfect medium for capturing those fleeting moments and light effects when working on location.” \nHe has been featured in many publications and is a sought-after workshop instructor who paints and teaches internationally.  He became a signature member of the prestigious Plein Air Painters of America (PAPA) in 2012 and served as their President from 2015-2017.  In 2022 he was selected as the only international member of England’s Pure Watercolour Society. \nHis paintings have won numerous awards\, including the Bronze and High Winds Medals from the American Watercolor Society in New York. \n“While learning\, I painted strictly from photographs and am glad I took that route.  Watercolor is challenging\, as it relies on timely washes that can be affected by the weather and a large amount of confidence due to its unforgiving nature.  I now paint ‘en plein air’ as well\, which has reinforced my efforts toward choosing strong\, simple subjects and working quickly to capture the essence of the scene.” \nHis love of painting on location also led to him being included in the 2017 Qingdao International Masters Watercolor Plein Air Event. \nYou can view his work at www.EvansenArtStudio.com.  \n

SUMMARY:September 2023 Demonstration by Kathy Armstrong!
DESCRIPTION:Announcing our September 2023 Season Opening in person demonstration by Rochester\, NY artist\, and NFWS Signature Member\, Kathy Armstrong! \nHer demonstration will follow a short NFWS Members Meeting where we will all be caught up to date on the events of the summer\, and hear about the year to come. \n   \n \nKathy Armstrong says that of all the media she paints in\, watercolor is her favorite because its transparent nature makes it possible to achieve a luminosity that isn’t possible with other mediums. In addition to her studio painting\nKathy enjoys plein air painting in oil\, and some of her largest paintings have been done in acrylic. Kathy teaches watercolor classes both in-person and virtually throughout the year. \nAfter a long career as a graphic designer in Wisconsin and Colorado\, Kathy returned to her native upstate New York in 2013\, moving to Rochester in late 2017. She is a Signature member of the Philadelphia Water Color Society\, Niagara Frontier Watercolor Society and the Rochester Art Club and paints outdoors with the Greater Rochester Plein Air Painters. Her work has been juried into international\, national and regional shows. Armstrong has been juried into the Memorial Art Gallery’s Rochester/Finger Lakes Exhibition three consecutive times\, winning the Alice E. Koret Award in 2019. She is one of the founding members of Pittsford Fine Art gallery at 4 Main Street in Pittsford\, NY. \n“When light touches the world it immediately brings it to life. It shapes and illuminates everything in its path. Trying to capture that light is the driving force behind my love of painting\,” says Kathy. \nTo see her work or for class information please visit her website at kathyarmstrongfineart.com.

SUMMARY:May 15th Members Meeting and Demonstration by Carl Purcell\, our May 2025 Workshop Artist
DESCRIPTION:After a brief in person Members Meeting\, we will have the pleasure of a demonstration by our May 2025 Workshop Artist Carl Purcell. This meeting and demonstration will be IN PERSON at the Amherst Community Church on Thursday\, May 15th from 7 to 9. \n      \nCarl Purcell taught painting and drawing at Snow College in Utah for 30 years. He is currently retired from the college but is a popular painting and drawing workshop instructor\, having conducted workshops throughout the West\, from Alaska to Arizona \, and in Great Britain. \nCarl is the author of the North Light publications\, Painting With Your Artist’s Brain (a watercolor book) and Drawing With Your Artist’s Brain. In addition his art has been featured in numerous articles published in The Artist’s Magazine and in Splash I. He has been invited to jury exhibits in Colorado\, New Mexico\, Wyoming\, Utah\, Nevada\, Michigan and Califonia. \nCarl has achieved signature member status in the National Watercolor Society and was given honor member status in the Utah Watercolor Society for his contributions to watercolor in the state. He has won numerous awards\, including a purchase award in the 2008 National Watercolor Society’s international exhibition. In 2009 Carl was chosen as one of the panel of three judges for the National Watercolor Society Annual Exhibition. \n“Stone Cadence” is one of a series of paintings I have been working on that explore the rhythmic patterns I see and feel in rock surfaces. I am drawn to the contrast of vertical fissures and cracks that cut through the horizontal layers of rock strata. To me these counter thrusts are like the unplanned events that cut through the well-laid plans of our lives. I see these rocks as living forms\, moving and dancing to the rhythm of life.” \nWhile his primary medium of choice is watercolor\, Carl also loves to work in oil and acrylic. Carl lives with his wife Nan in Manti\, a small town in central Utah. His paintings reflect his love of nature\, especially the rock canyon country of Utah.\n

SUMMARY:March 19\, 2026 Members Meeting and Demonstration by Jody Ziehm
DESCRIPTION: Our March Members Meeting this year will be different! It will be in person on March 19\, 2026 from 7 – 9 pm at the Amherst Community Church\, 77 Washington Hwy\, Snyder\, NY. ( Lots of parking behind the facility.) Snacks provided by our Hospitality Committee.\nAfter a brief Members Meeting highlighting the upcoming events for 2026\, we will be treated to a demonstration by an amazing artist\, our Signature Member and popular teacher Jody Ziehm \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJody is a beloved watercolor artist and teacher based in Niagara Falls New York. Jody creates drama in her paintings by turning up the “volume” with color. While preserving the white of the paper for lights\, creating mystery in her darks\, invites the viewer in. Expressive marks using unconventional tools such as sharpened sticks\, create a raw textural quality. Two important words in her process are “letting go”\, enforced with the use of a misting bottle. She is more interested in the emotion of her inspiration\, rather than replicating an image.\nAlthough she believes that there are paintings surrounding us in our everyday lives\, Jody’s most recent portfolio is inspired by hosting Artful Travels\, guided journeys across Europe and the United States. We come together to explore communities in their rich history weaving together art\, culture0 and shared discoveries.\nHost of “The Art of Watercolors by Jody Ziehm” a long running local cable community program. It can be seen online at WWW.LCTV.NET on demand.\nShe teaches 3 weekly classes at the Carnegie Art Center in North Tonawanda New York. She also teaches an annual fall workshop at the Chautauqua Institution Chautauqua\, New York. Conducts workshops in an around Western New York and Canada.\nMost recent award -National Watercolor Society 2025 members Exhibition awarded the Julian Ellsworth Garnsey Past Presidents award. Juror Mario A. Robinson.\nAccepted into 2025 Transparent Watercolor Society Annual exhibition.\nSolo exhibition 2024 “Saturated Expressions” Carnegie Art Center North Tonawanda New York.\n  \n
