Frank Francese Workshop
I attended a wonderful workshop by Frank Francese, organised by the Mississippi Watercolor Society, in September 2003.
Frank really emphasized value drawings, and showed us a great way to complete them using markers. Here are some of the value sketches I drew during the course. The first two I drew with markers and added the values with payne's gray watercolor. The second two I sketched with black marker, scanned, and then filled in the values on the computer.
Usually I paint about one half-sheet watercolor a month. Frank paints very fast, with big brushes and lots of color, and never draws on his paper at all. I managed to paint 7 (SEVEN!!) half-sheets during the five days of the workshop following his teaching. Here are some of the paintings I did in the workshop.
