lHighlights and Lost Edges
PNBA Online Watercolor Workshop with Denise Walser-Kolar
September 6, 2025, from 9 AM to 11 AM PDT
We are happy to say that we have arranged to host a workshop with Denise Walser-Kolar on September 6, 2025, from 9 AM to 11 AM PDT.
Learn how to bring your work to the next level by creating effective highlights, reflected light, and lost edges. In this demonstration-only Zoom workshop we will look at many examples of effective highlights, talk about the difference in highlights depending on the texture of your subject, and learn how to achieve a more 3D look by effectively using lost edges. This Zoom workshop is a combination of slide presentations and live demonstrations, with plenty of time for questions. A recording of the workshop will be available for participants.
Denise Walser-Kolar is an internationally recognized artist who specializes in painting botanical and nature art on vellum. An excellent instructor, Denise teaches workshops in the United States and Europe as well as classes online. She has worked for the American Society of Botanical Artists as both the Conference Coordinator and as the Executive Director. Denise is currently working on a series of paintings inspired by the work of 16th Century Illuminator, Joris Hoefnagel.
Denise received the Diane Bouchier Artist Award for Excellence in Botanical Art in 2015. She also received a Silver-Gilt medal from the Royal Horticultural Society in 2011 for her paintings of the hazelnuts of Badgersett Research Farm. Her work is held in the permanent collection of the Hunt Institute for Botanical Documentation. More information about Denise can be found on her website and on Facebook.
Registration will open to Members on Monday, July 28th. Registration will open to non-members as space allows.
