  • “Expressive Watercolors” featuring Lisa Miceli, Wednesday, April 24, 2024, 6:00 to 8:00 p.m., Riverfront Community Center, 300 Welles Street in Glastonbury.

    In this demo, Lisa Miceli will demonstrate her expressive approach to watercolor by creating a painting with atmosphere. Expressive watercolor painting involves a balance of spontaneity and technique which can produce atmospheric, vibrant paintings. Lisa will talk about designing a scene which moves beyond the photo reference, understanding the pigment to water ratio, and how this relates to the tonal values in the composition.  She will demonstrate how to drop pigment onto paper at different stages of drying and how to achieve atmospheric perspective and mood using different strengths of pigment and tonal values.


    Lisa Miceli is a plein air and studio painter and art teacher with a focus on expressionist watercolors. She teaches oil and watercolor painting with her colleague Howard Park year-round, and studio and plein air classes and workshops at the Lyme Art Association, Mystic Museum of Art, Avondale Arts and Watch Hill Chapel in Rhode Island, and on Fishers Island, New York. 


    Lisa is an elected artist at the Mystic Museum of Art, a member of the Noank 9 plein air painting group, host of New England Watercolor Society plein air paint-outs and was co-chair of the NEWS Brushes with Nature plein air painting program. Lisa’s focus on plein air painting was recently featured in the blog “Spring is Plein Air”. 


    Lisa’s paintings hang in galleries throughout New England has received watercolor awards at the New England Watercolor Society Regional Show and the NEWs Brushes with Nature Plein Air show. She was winner of the JMW Turner watercolor competition at the Mystic Seaport Museum.
