What is stick and ink? An alternative to drawing with a pen, in this workshop you will learn to use a sharpened stick (provided by the instructor) dipped in ink to create more free and spontaneous drawings, followed by a watercolor wash to add a colorful spontaneity and finish to the piece. Drawing and painting in this way allows more freedom and variety of marks as you create your composition. It eliminates the tendency to overwork paintings. These paintings are finished works in and of themselves, or can be studies for other paintings.
There will be instructor demos throughout the day and instruction to help students learn these expressive drawing and watercolor techniques.

Artist Bio:
Lisa Miceli is a plein air painter and art teacher with a focus on expressionist watercolors and oils. She teaches both in studio and at plein air locations year-round. Lisa has studied with several prominent artists but a significant influence on her painting has come from her artistic grandmother, Lucille. She has won awards such as the prestigious Ruth Wynn Memorial Award from the Rhode Island Watercolor Society. She has been in exhibits and juried shows with the Lyme Art Association, Providence Art Club, Connecticut Academy of Fine Arts and too many more to list. Lisa has taught art courses across the spectrum - Plein air Palette Knife Painting, Colorist Landscape, and Stick and Ink - just to name a few. In her plein air painting Lisa seeks to convey something deeper about the land, sea and sky than meets the eye, something that is under the surface but visible only when we slow down to look, uncovering what is beautiful in the seemingly ordinary.
