Watercolor Workshops

These workshops are for anyone wishing to paint with dramatically enriched, yet believable color. Paint, have fun, and learn more than you ever imagined possible! Ken Hosmer presents two valuable learning tools: a unique color system, which is unsurpassed for developing pure transparent color schemes; and the Hosmer Design Model, a simplified way to organize and creatively interpret painting ideas. All watercolor demonstrations stress the spontaneous, splashy look.

Ken has a special gift for clearly explaining his artistic method as he paints. As a devoted teacher, he organizes ideas into simple terms and offers plenty of personal help and encouragement, making the class ideal for beginning and advanced students. A typical day might include demonstration and lecture in the morning with class work time and individual help in the afternoon. Often the class ends with a critique session.

COLOR DYNAMICS II
  • 115 minutes

    Artist, Ken Hosmer, is noted for his unusual and sensitive use of vibrant color. In this outstanding video, Ken provides an in depth look at the practical use of color. He shows how to mix watercolors on the paper to avoid the "mud trap." He explains the advantages of complementary colors, swinging the color wheel, and color shifts of objects in light and shadow. The video includes two complete painting demonstrations: (1) human figures and (2) a landscape; also a demonstration of ink sketching on location.
 
New on DVD
MORE DYNAMIC COLOR
  • 119 minutes

    An expansion of  additional color ideas from those presented in Color Dynamics II , this new video is for anyone wishing to paint with dramatically enriched, yet believable color. Ken focuses on three secrets to achieving color harmony and provides a practical system to organize your color thinking as you paint. He also takes you on a tour of his new color wheel of very intense tube colors. Painting demonstrations include: (1) rooster and chickens, (2) landscape of barn and trees in snow.
 
WATERCOLOR BASICS
  • 97 minutes

    A must for the intermediate or beginning watercolor painter, this video explores important techniques, such as managing water in the brush for flow control, lifting methods, organizing the palette, stretching paper, using various types of watercolor paper, and more. Emphasis is on translating value into color. Practice exercises and a dynamic watercolor demonstration of potted geraniums in a window make this video an excellent resource.
 
KEN HOSMER PAINTS ANIMALS
  • 104 minutes

    This practical guide to painting animals includes Ken's outstanding ink-wash sketching technique and two splashy watercolor demonstrations: (1) a cat painted on hot pressed paper for hyped up textural effects and (2) a cow with calf.

SECRETS OF FLOWER PAINTING
  • 108 minutes

    This exciting new video shares many key secrets to painting enriched, beautiful flowers in watercolor. In Part 1, Ken introduces an easy four-value painting system as he guides you through a simplified painting of  pansies. In Part 2, he emphasizes exaggerated light shapes and shadows to create the curving forms of roses. Both paintings are carefully explained as they progress, giving insight into the artist's thinking.
