Intermediate to Advanced

Class Outline
    The overall objective of the workshop is to show the vast range and flexibility of watercolor and to put emotion and conviction
    into painting by exploring, experimenting, and developing creativity of each individual. Tom likes to put fun into the process of
    painting, along with enthusiasm and new techniques in an atmosphere that makes the intermediate and advanced painter
    feel welcome!

    A goal for each day is set, and each student will see an example and understanding of that day’s lesson. There will be daily
    demonstration paintings, with detailed explanations of all the “hows” and “whys” followed by individual attention to see that
    each student understands and has an example of the day’s objective. Included will be tips on photography, “on-location”
    painting and matting. Also, Lynch’s ever-popular program on salvage techniques for discarded paintings during the critique
    session.

    Lynch brings to his class the same enthusiasm and energy as seen on his (6) national PBS series “Fun with Watercolor”.
    His vast list of accomplishments, credits and awards are listed in “Who’s Who in American Art” His work is featured in all the
    leading art publications including the American Artist magazine, the International Artist magazine, the Wall Street Journal,
    Artist Magazine, Southwest Art and Art and Antiques. He has written six books on watercolor techniques.

    Among his many prestigious exhibits were a one-man show at the American Embassy in Paris and as the featured artist for
    four U.S. Open Golf tournaments, and numerous PGA events.

    Past students have said of his workshops … “The best workshop I have ever had” … “Never a dull moment” … “I learned
    more in one day than I have in years” … Patient, positive and knowledgeable” … “How soon can he come back” … “A master
    of painting and teaching”.

    You will come away from this workshop with enthusiasm for watercolor painting, some new techniques, a new friend and
    knowledge that you can use for a lifetime!


    TOM LYNCH has been referred to as one of the nation’s
    premier watercolorists. He has written 7 books and
    hosted several award winning PBS TV Art Series. He was
    recently listed as one of the nation’s top 20 teachers by a
    leading Art magazine. Tom is represented by some of the
    nations leading museums and art galleries. He has
    been the spokesperson for the entire National Art
    Materials Trade Association, and continues to be the
    international spokesperson for many leading art material
    manufacturers. Tom is currently featured on the new
    cable TV channel Visual Arts Network, and in 2007 he
    became the CMO and featured artist for Art Academy Live
    (the leading on-line education source). With his uniquely
    styled landscape paintings, he strives for a level of
    excitement, movement and resonance that seems to
    push somewhere beyond what the environment naturally
    provides.

    When considering subjects he tries to search for
    something striking; like the color of the sky, the direction
    of natural light, pattern of shadows, or the glint of sunlight
    on water. He then embellishes those striking features.

    Lynch hopes that by accentuating those things that are
    sometimes easy to miss, he can provoke viewers to …
    “Have something to think about not just something to
    see”. Each painting Tom creates can be seen as special.
    “I feel it’s the job of the artist to bring to the viewer the best
    of what can be found in the landscape along with a little
    creativity or exaggeration … normal and ordinary are not
    for me.” Tom is a natural teacher who is especially
    intuitive in developing the student’s own individual.
