Bio
Pastel is
my preferred medium but I also work
in oil and watercolor. En plein aire
is my source of material and
inspiration. My paintings are
usually completed in the studio.
 Whenever possible
my husband, Larry, and I travel to
different areas of the country to
visit friends and family, play golf,
paint and take photos of sites that
speak to me. Of course our favorite
place is right here where we live,
on the Texas Coast. This is a photo
I took locally at Cove Harbor on a
beautiful sunny morning. I watched
the egret as it sat there above all
the people getting their bait and
fishing gear together, readying
them-selves to take their boats out
so they could return with the catch
of the day. But he sat there "Above
It All". What peace and tranquility!
I wondered ... can I capture that
moment on canvas? Can I get others
to feel it? This is what I saw and
felt ... peace and beauty. |

Time: 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Cost: $200
Limited to 4 Students
Instructor provides all supplies
Learn from one of Texas masters of watercolor. Paint
with Gerald Bienvenu for three sessions in three
days. Learn what to do...and what not to do, in an
exciting, intensive hands-on class where you do all
of the painting, and Gerald tells you, and shows
you, how he does it.
This class is limited to four students so that each
student gets the very best instruction. During this
class you will produce YOUR VERY OWN PAINTING...the
way Gerald Bienvenu would paint it. Same brush
strokes, same colors. But you are doing it! And you
do not have to bring any materials. Gerald provides
everything you will need, colors, palette,
watercolor paper and brushes. All you need to bring
is your enthusiasm and the desire to learn how to
pain watercolor. |
