Wonders of Watercolor and Studio Tour with Sheryl Russell
Sheryl, a professional artist and fashion illustrator for years, has tried every media. Watercolor is
still the most challenging and the most rewarding. Students will do a lot of paintings since that’s
the best opportunity to refine skills. Learn color, shading, dry brush, over painting, and resist
methods. Improve composition and design techniques. Students will have excellent technique
information and samples as well as finished work. Visit the studio and home of Sheryl Russell.

Watercolor painting is extremely old, dating perhaps to the cave paintings of paleolithic
Europe, and has been used for manuscript illumination since at least Egyptian times but
especially in the European Middle Ages generally considered among the earliest exponents
of the medium.
A watercolor is the medium or the resulting artwork, in which the paints are made of pigments
suspended in a water soluble vehicle. The traditional and most common support for
watercolor paintings is paper; other supports include papyrus, bark papers, plastics, vellum
or leather, fabric, wood, and canvas.
