SUMMARY:September Members Meeting and Demonstration by Barbara Fox
DESCRIPTION:Our monthly Members Meetings are brief and open to the public. We welcome everyone interested in watercolor\, the regional arts community and learning. There is always a demonstration by remarkable water media artist\, and snacks are provided! \nSeptember’s artist demonstrator is Barbara Fox. What a treat! \nBarbara Fox is a painter recognized for still life and floral subjects in watercolor and oil. Her meticulously crafted paintings are exhibited and collected internationally\, have received numerous awards\, and have been selected for publication in fine art books and magazines. Barbara’s work has been published in four editions of the watercolor publication Splash: the Best of Watercolor Painting. She has been a featured artist in the leading national art magazines American Artist and Watercolor Magic. She leads watercolor workshops around the country\, teaching her method of layering washes and painting details. She is a signature member of the National Watercolor Society and the International Guild of Realism\, among others. \nBarbara’s Artist Statement: \nMy working method pays homage to the Dutch masters and the tradition of academic painting. I work from life and photographs. Watercolor and oil paintings begin as detailed drawings to which a number of glazes are applied\, building deep values and rich colors. The process of completing these works may take many weeks\, so I usually have several paintings in process at once. Creating artwork is both a meditation and an adventure that opens my eyes to our beautiful world.

SUMMARY:Spring Workshop with Peggi Nero Habets
DESCRIPTION:Our Spring Workshop will feature nationally renowned watercolor painter Peggi Nero Habets.  \nThis Spring’s Watercolor Workshop will be held at Marienthal Country Inn\, 5107 Langford Road in Eden\, NY\, May 14 – 18\, 2018\, 9:30 am – 4:00 pm. \nRegistration Forms for the Workshop are now available on this site. They will also be emailed to all NFWS Members. Click the workshop title below to view and print the Registration Form. \nNFWS Spring Workshop 2018\nABOUT THE ARTIST: \nPeggi Nero Habets lives and works as an artist in her hometown of Pittsburgh\, Pa. Her deep love for the fluidity and spontaneity of watercolor has led her to paint and teach in the medium for over 15 years. Her figurative and cityscape paintings have been exhibited and collected internationally and she has received awards in many prestigious shows\, including the National Watercolor Society and the American Watercolor Society International Juried Exhibitions. Publications of her work include “Splash 18” and the upcoming “Splash 19” watercolor books\, as well as magazine features and articles in The Art of Watercolour\, Pratique Des Arts\, Watercolor Artist\, Watercolor Magic\, and Palette magazines. She is the author of “Watercolor Made Easy: Portraits”\, and was featured in “The Art of Drawing and Painting Portraits”\, both books published by Walter Foster Publishing.  Peggi’s artwork was selected from 7\,000 entries for the esteemed Shanghai Watercolour Biennial and the Shenzhen International Watercolour Exhibition\, exhibiting in multiple cities in China. A popular watercolor instructor\, Peggi enjoys teaching watercolor workshops and painting retreats around the country. \nABOUT THE 5 DAY WORKSHOP: \n“GOING BEYOND A LIKENESS”\nWatercolor workshop for all levels\nStudents go beyond mere portraiture and the goal of achieving a likeness. We will delve into the design and planning that are integral in telling a story or communicating an idea. The workshop progresses through the stages of a painting\, from initial inspiration and reference material to value and color studies to final painting of a figure or figures. Although students may complete one or several paintings during the course of the workshop\, the ultimate goal is not to create a masterpiece\, but to experiment with new ideas and techniques and to make plenty of mistakes.    \nJoin us for a week of inspiration and camaraderie. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:February Members Meeting and Demonstration by Deanna Weinholtz
DESCRIPTION:Come learn about what’s happening in the watercolor community in Western New York\, enjoy the company of fellow watercolor and watermedia enthusiasts\, and watch a demonstration by our own Deanna Weinholtz.\nDeanna is a watermedia artist from Western New York who is best known for her luminous landscapes and seascapes in watercolor and acrylics. Her creations have been displayed in numerous exhibitions and galleries and have won national and regional awards\nDeanna’s inspiration comes from travels throughout the United States and Canada. The Kawartha Lakes in Canada is one of her favorite subjects and is frequently featured in her paintings. She was fortunate to experience growing up at her family’s summer resort on a lake in the Kawarthas. Observing spectacular sunsets over the water and the Northern Lights occasionally dancing across the sky\, has inspired a number of her paintings. Transparent watercolor and fluid acrylics are the mediums she chooses to portray her subjects because of their luminescent qualities and ability to layer creating depth. Deanna uses large brushes\, rags and her fingers to create spontaneous\, intuitive paintings that are a beautiful mix of representational abstract. A graduate of State University College at Buffalo with a degree in design\, Deanna worked as a graphic designer for several years before leaving to raise a family. She pursued other artistic professions including designing and dressmaking of wedding gowns\, until her passion for painting pulled her back to become a full time professional fine artist. She shares her knowledge and love of painting through teaching and demos. Deanna is a signature member of Niagara Frontier Watercolor Society\, an exhibiting member of Buffalo Society of Artists\, Pittsburgh Watercolor Society and Buffalo Niagara Art Association. www.deannaweinholtz. com

SUMMARY:January Members Meeting and Demonstration by Dan Meyer
DESCRIPTION:What better welcome back after the holidays! Join us on January 18th\, the third Thursday of the month\, at the Amherst Community Church for a short Members Meeting and a Demonstration by popular teacher and inspiring Watercolor Artist Dan Meyer. Everyone is welcome. \nDan Meyer is a Buffalo born painter who enjoys the challenge of transparent watercolor’s spontaneity and luminescent quality. As a wildlife artist and illustrator\, Dan’s creations have won numerous awards and have been featured on posters\, consumer packaging and national magazine articles. He exhibits his work at wildlife art shows throughout the year including the prestigious Southeastern Wildlife Exposition in Charleston\, South Carolina and Easton Waterfowl Festival in Easton\, Maryland. Dan is a member and past president of the Niagara Frontier Watercolor Society and honorary member of the Central New York Watercolor Society. www.woodswindnwater.com. \nWith over 40 years of art experience\, Dan Meyer has been interpreting his encounters with the avian wildlife of North America through the use of transparent watercolor. His attempt at capturing the essence of his subject is directly related to his emphasis on values and the luminecient quality of the medium.\nDan considers himself a purist when it comes to watercolors\, meaning he uses no white paint and tries to avoid opaque colors. The whites of his paintings are the results of painting values around an area leaving the bare paper to create the white. This method of watercolor is one of the challenges that inspires Dan to create new paintings with the same excitement and enthusiasm that he had with his very first painting.\nDan’s inspiration for a painting comes from observing his subject in its natural environment. He gathers information through sketches\, notes and photography. In his studio he uses those references to create several sketches of the subject in various positions as part of the design process which will produce an eye-catching and interesting as well as self satisfying painting.\nA graduate of the Art Institute of Pittsburgh\, Dan worked in the advertising and packaging fields before pursuing Wildlife Art full time. His images have been used on packaging\, posters\, textiles and in sportsman magazines. He exhibits at a number of wildlife art shows in the east and shares his artistic knowledge with students through classes and workshops. Dan is a charter member and past president of the Niagara Frontier Watercolor Society and honorary member of the Central New York Watercolor Society.

SUMMARY:November Members Meeting and Demonstration by Paul Allen Taylor
DESCRIPTION:Come learn about what’s happening in the watercolor community in Western New York\, enjoy the company of fellow watercolor and watermedia enthusiasts\, and watch a demonstration by the colorful impressionist painter from Rochester\, NY\, Paul Allen Taylor. \n  \nBorn in Rochester\, NY\, Paul Allen Taylor is a self-taught watercolorist recognized for his fresh use of color and impressionistic style. As a respected teacher and workshop instructor\, Taylor has developed a following where students find him engaging\, highly skilled\, and entertaining. \nI have been working in watercolor for nearly thirty years. In the beginning I painted as a hobby after finishing college classes. With time my skills improved and my range of subjects grew. I soon realized that painting was not just something to do\, but something I needed to do. \nToday I am an artist fulfilling a personal drive\, teaching others what I have learned and  benefitting from the sales of my art. \nMy recent work has involved pre-drawing in ink with a match stick. Where some artists will draw over a watercolor in pen and ink\, the pre-ink method with a match stick creates a drawing with varied line as the basis for the painting. This drawing not only adds necessary detail and shape definition to the work but also makes the painting process easier. This will be the subject of my demonstration for NFWS. \n  \nTaylor teaches watercolor for the Rush Henrietta Schools Adult Education program and the Artstore at Southtown Plaza in Rochester. His work can be seen at the Artstop in Penfield\, NY\, the Lower Mill Gallery in Honeoye Falls\, NY\, Bay House Artisans\, Alexandria Bay\, NY\, and Mares Wares Pottery\, Morristown\, NY.
