The community is invited to the next Fountain Hills Artists’ Gallery weekly demonstration Tuesday, Feb. 13, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The featured artist for this event is Carrie Godwin, a watercolor artist.
“I paint with the passion of the mystery of watercolor,” Godwin said in a press release. “I love the magical blend of the pigments and water in my subjects which vary. I am very intrigued by color theory and that ties into my original background of fine art and commercial photography.”
Godwin’s work ranges from landscape, abstract, animals and collage/mixed media added to the watercolor paintings.
Ultimately, Godwin says she wants her work to make people feel a connection with her work through a fond memory, good energy or a calm sense.
“Using a lot of water and staying loose is my style for creating many soft layers,” Godwin added. “When I start a painting, I use light washes and then I patiently build up the layers.
“Paying attention to how the paper dries is very key to adding details, then revising some layers to work with the details, until I feel the work reflects my vision.”
The gallery is located at 16858 E. Avenue of the Fountains and is open Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sundays, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
