Watercolor Irises in CMY Primaries Friday May 26th, 2023 | 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM | $99 + tax |

Using just three watercolor tubes of primary cyan, magenta, and yellow, and a palette designed to organize them on a color wheel, you will learn to capture the vibrant hues of spring, painting irises. By understanding the logic of color relationships of these three hues on the CMY color wheel, and their tints, tones, and shades — you will be able to achieve a full range of clean, clear, and predictable paint mixes including rich darks and colorful grays. The hands-on demo and step-by-step instructions will guide you through water management and brush management that are crucial for keeping your color mixes from getting contaminated.

Bio:

An internationally exhibited and award-winning painter-printmaker, Sudeshna Sengupta has been teaching in the US since 1989. Her career as a teaching artist spans multiple decades, continents, and cultures that inform her decolonizing art pedagogy, expanding the scope of her teaching beyond the confines of Euro-centric academic norms.

After twenty-five years in southern NM, including in Las Cruces and Alamogordo, where she established NMSU-A’s first Intaglio printmaking program as a faculty in 1995, she has been teaching with the School of Arts at SFCC since moving to Santa Fe a few years ago.

She holds a BFA in Painting (1983) and MFA in Printmaking (1985) from Visva Bharati, an international university in India, founded by the humanist poet-philosopher and the first non-European Nobel-laureate(1913), Rabindranath Tagore.

Her etchings have been collected in museums and galleries in the US, India and Western Europe, including the Association Musee d’Art Contemporain, France; and the National Gallery of Modern Art, New Delhi, and Artist Trust, Seattle, among others. Besides pursuing studio art and teaching, she presents lectures, workshops, and community-based arts events with civic, cultural, and community organizations in the US and in India, often with an emphasis on cultural connectedness.

Teaching Philosophy:

In my experience as a teaching artist for over three decades, I see teaching studio-art as a meticulously balanced process of bringing out the best in each individual learner rather than repeating one-size-fits-all set of canned content. I believe in a pedagogy of pluralism. My teaching philosophy is to successfully form a truly inclusive classroom-studio environment for art-making, learning, and artistic discoveries. The inclusive and non-threatening environment of my class aims to support and facilitate optimum creative growth in each individual learner through active and engaging group interactions. In doing so, I seek to affirm, recognize, respect, and support the varied learning styles, learning needs, and goals of each learner.
