President’s Message A Watercolor Perspective: Hop Onboard Our

Professional Train

I recently had a great conversation with UWS member,

Roxane Pfister. For my second interview on The

Relevancy of Watercolor series, I wanted to talk to a

member who paints in watercolor but who considers

another her primary medium. Roxane fits the bill. Her

beautiful oil paintings are represented at the Logan Fine

Art Gallery in Logan, Utah.

Roxane and I also share a background in math; she is a practicing statistician, and

I have a degree in applied math. I feel there are many parallels between Art &

Math. I will not tire you with our Euclidean vs. Non-Euclidean Geometry

comparison, other than to say that watercolor is more like the latter. It is often

misunderstood and under appreciated. We feel it takes a lot more study and

practice to understand and master the basics.

For this article, I decided to take off on the idea of the Parallel Postulate in

Euclidean Geometry – That is; parallel lines, if extended into infinity, will never

converge.

Well any artist who has transcribed a three-dimensional subject on to a two-

dimensional surface knows this is not true! After all, parallel lines converge at the

vanishing point on the horizon line, right? Just ask Tom Schaller, our recent

workshop Instructor and master of perspective.

Imagine a train, loaded with watercolor artists, running on parallel rails. The train

can head toward the vanishing point and disappear into the distance, or the train

can rush toward the viewer, focused on presenting professional, quality art,

commanding attention and respect. Is our watercolor society train an old Ghost

Train trotted out for tourists, or a fast-moving locomotive with passengers

clamoring to jump onboard and see what watercolor is all about?

Let’s revive the old Ghost Train. Passengers heading for the following stations:

Watercolor Workshops, Statewide All-media Competitions; Galleries, Art Museums,

Airports, Shopping Malls, Plein Air Events, Art Collectors, and Professional

Watercolor Exhibitions. All aboard!

UWS Fall Member

Exhibition

The UWS Fall Member Exhibition is

open! For six months, Utah Watercolor

Society artists, volunteers, and Visual

Art Institute Staff have worked with the

exhibition juror, Thomas Schaller, to

create an incredible water media

exhibition now on display at The

Visual Art Institute (2901 S. Highland

Drive, Salt Lake City, UT). Selected

from 142 entries, 71 amazing works of

art are available for viewing. VAI is

open during the following hours: M-F

12:00pm – 6:30pm. Sat 9:00am –

1:00pm through November 6th.

Thomas Schaller did not

disappoint...in fact, he WOWED! We

had a large group, but we made it

work for him and he made it work for

us. The group clicked, making Tom's

time in Utah productive, comfortable

and memorable. Some take-aways

from Tom include:

* Tell your story

* Paint what has meaning for you

* Connect, connect, connect

* Color can be your darks

* Gravity is your friend

Comments from the group

“Tom provided techniques and tips

ready to apply to my paintings without

taking away my own voice. He made

me want to delve into the paints, no

hesitation, no overthinking. It's only

paper and it is already started. All the

whites are there.”

teaching knowledge and style. All of

Thomas's demos were of Utah

settings, from Big Cottonwood Canyon

to Zion. Artists replicated his demos

using his techniques for landscape,

architecture, sky, and twilight, using

varied formats to bring power to the

scene. Artists also painted subjects of

meaning to them. No one shied away

from color or darks. For Tom, nearly

every demo was a sale. In addition to

the demos, Tom sold many of the

paintings he brought with him and all

of his DVDs. We ended the workshop

with a critique of each artist's paintings

and a going away gift for Tom and Otis

(his dog and constant companion).


Fall Workshop and

Member Meeting Recap:

Thomas Schaller

In addition to the week-long workshop,

Tom shared his many thoughts and

painted at the UWS Members Meeting

in October and attended our 2015 Fall

Member Exhibition reception as

well. He praised the level of our art

and marveled at the natural beauty of

the home state where we paint.

Tom and Otis left on Saturday,

heading to Bryce Canyon with our gift,

a book on hiking in Zion and Bryce

signed with memories and notes from

the artists who attended the

workshop.

choices, which was very instructive. I

felt like what I learned from him can

be instantly [incorporate] in my work;

not just a new gimmick but a clear

direction. I felt like I made some major

break-throughs this week. I wish he

could come back every year!”

“What a great teacher! He was so

generous in sharing his experience

and wisdom. His humility is very

inspiring and encourages one to be an

honest painter. “Paint for yourselves.”

“I came back in St Louis full of energy

and strong desires of paintings and

creation, thanks to the great UWS

group and Tom Schaller. I am really

grateful to you for that!”

“He was definitely one of our best...not

only a fabulous artist but a generous

and positive instructor, as well. [They]

don't always go together!”

The workshop artists produced

beautiful paintings daily, impressing

Thomas, but also resulting from his

what I needed!

Tuesday evening Mr. Reid and his wife visited our CVC chapter meeting. He

answered questions and told stories, and we came to know him better. Thank you

to Colleen Reynolds for the use of a portable P.A. system! It was a fun evening.

The next day we worked from models. Mr. Reid taught us a lot about measuring

proportions, and giving total concentration to precision in the center of the face.

One of the things he said that day that will stay with me was, “It’s better to leave it

unsaid than say it badly.”

On Thursday, we headed out to the marsh to do plein air painting. We had a

surprise visitor. John Singer Sargent showed up in Mr. Reid’s painting! He likes to

have an object in the foreground, so he brought and old photo. He encouraged the

rest of us to paint each other.

The final day we worked from historical photos. We did more measuring and

marking during our drawings. He urged us to force ourselves not to overpaint, and

do objects and cast shadows simultaneously.

It was a great workshop, and a lot of fun to be able to spend time with artists from

all over. Brenda Brunello worked hard and did a great job orchestrating it all! I have

enjoyed sharing my experiences with the elementary students where I work. I was

so excited to show them the photos I took of Charles Reid’s excellent contour

drawings. They are learning about contour drawings, and I love hearing the ooh’s

and ah’s when I can show them really good examples.

Have a great month, and I hope to see you all at more of these events!

News From the North – Cache Valley Chapter

Blog Spot: www.uws-cvc.blogspot.com

CVC Member Meetings are held the

second Tuesday of each month at the

Logan Library.

This has been a great month for our Utah Watercolor Society

Cache Valley Chapter. Many of us made the trip to Salt Lake

for the phenomenal October meeting featuring Thomas

Schaller. It was so worthwhile for us to watch his approach to

painting the beautiful, familiar landscape of Zion National

Park!

The very next week, we enjoyed a workshop by Charles

Reid. The first two days were spent working on still lifes with

flowers, duck decoys, fruit, and pottery. In regards to

drawing, he said, “Assume you are going to make mistakes.

Use the bad line to find the good line.”

September UWS Opening

Social Recap

The kick-off for the 2015-2016 year

was fun but also educational.

Our new President, Colleen Reynolds,

provided us with a trivia game, where

we learned useful information about

our wonderful organization. Prizes

were earned by members who knew

the answers.

We also benefitted from a great

presentation from Past President,

Kristi Grussendorf, who gave an

informative demonstration and training

about proper framing techniques. We

should now all be able to deliver a

professional presentation of our work.

The delicious food was catered by

Lindsey Swatski, and we also learned

of the exclusive UWS framing deal

offered by Alpine Mat Company.

It is going to be another fabulous year,

with lots of opportunities for growth,

friendship and inspiration for members

of the Utah Watercolor Society!
