About the Class: Learn how to mix your watercolors while creating a unique color wheel that is a work of art in itself and could be framed and a reference for future paintings. Unlike printed commercial color wheels that you can buy, you will be creating one or more of your own while gaining confidence in your ability to work with a limited palette.
Most importantly you will learn how complementary colors are created and used in your work. This class is perfect for beginners and an invaluable tool for experienced artists who may have forgotten some of the simpler magic of creating great paintings.

- watercolors (professional grade)
- paper
- printed color wheel (2 sizes)
- watercolor palette
- paper towels
- handouts

These supplies are included and would cost the attendee $25.00 if bought separately.
Through this exploration of various mediums, I discovered a passion for watercolors. Several years ago, I made the deliberate decision to focus exclusively on watercolor as my artistic medium of choice.
My understanding of the intricacies of watercolor developed through attending workshops held in various locations across the southern states. However, I truly felt myself flourish as an artist when I took on the role of teaching workshops. Guiding and sharing my knowledge with adult students, many of whom have gone on to win awards, secure placements in prestigious galleries, and experience continuous growth in their own work, has been a deeply fulfilling experience.
Presently, my artwork is showcased in two locations: a gallery in Asheville and another in Hendersonville. As time progresses, I've come to see myself more as a collaborator rather than solely a teacher. In these workshops, I've discovered that I continue to learn and grow alongside my participants, fostering a dynamic and mutually enriching artistic community

About the Class: This workshop will include demos and student projects designed to take the torture out of portraiture! Topics will include: drawing the face, using a limited palette, color mixing methods, choosing the subject, and working from photographs.

Students should have experience in pencil drawing and watercolor painting.
Supplies: Supply list will be available. The required supplies will be underlined and available locally.
Artist Bio: My name is Bill Abel and I live in Hendersonville, NC. I have painted watercolors since I was a kid and I've been painting and teaching watercolors professionally for over 30 years. Painting the portrait is something I began in 1997 under the instruction of Joseph McFadden. Joe introduced me to Daniel E. Greene's method for drawing the portrait using 4 lines to segment the face. Joe also introduced me to painting with a primary palette, using the primary colors: Red, blue and yellow, plus sepia for tinting. Simplifying this process of painting watercolor portraits was a game-changer for me, and lead me to become a portrait painter throughout my career. When I teach painting I want to share what I love about watercolors and remove the stigma that painting with watercolors is hard. The challenge is not the medium but rather the method. The key to methodology is simply to practice, practice a lot.

Artist Bio:A former medical and scientific illustrator, my primary medium of choice was pen and ink. Color was considered a luxury that my clients didn't typically require for the work I produced for publications and presentations. However, after undergoing a few career shifts, I began to yearn for the freedom to create my artwork with vibrant colors.
Through exploration of various mediums, I discovered a passion for watercolors. I made the deliberate decision to focus exclusively on watercolor as my artistic medium of choice. I honed my skills and developed a reputation for my exceptional ability to infuse watercolors with intense, vivid color palettes.
My understanding of watercolor developed through attending workshops held in various locations across the southern states. However, I truly felt myself flourish as an artist when I took on the role of teaching workshops. Guiding and sharing my knowledge with adult students, many of whom have gone on to win awards, secure placements in prestigious galleries, and experience continuous growth in their work, has been a deeply fulfilling experience.

About the Class: In my early days as a painter I was very lucky to meet and study under a world renowned watercolorist by the name of Tony van Hasselt, A.W.S. We became close friends and for several years I was invited to assist on Tony's week-long outdoor painting workshops. I learned so much from this experience. At the time Tony was promoting a book he co-authored with Judi Wagner called the Watercolor Fix-it Book. In this book Tony and Judi introduce the Eight Building Blocks of Painting. For this workshop you will be learning and practicing these building blocks and I will share with you demos and methods for implementing each one. These building blocks are not rules but proven guidelines. And over 30 years later, I still use these guidelines every time I paint. This is a 3-day workshop and will be painting with watercolors. Previous attendance to BBI is not necessary.
Supplies: I will provide a supply list with strongly recommended materials that will be available locally.
Experience: If you are a beginner, an art instructor, or a seasoned professional, this workshop is for you! No matter what level of experience you have, I promise you will learn so much.
About the Instructor/Artist: My name is Bill Abel and I live in Hendersonville, NC. I have painted watercolors since I was a kid and I've been painting and teaching watercolors professionally for over 30 years. While growing up in Florida I painted many seascapes and coastal scenes that were familiar to me. When I moved to Tallahassee, Florida, I fell in love with painting rural settings like old Tobacco Barns, canopy roads, and beautiful estuaries along the Florida panhandle. In 2004, I moved to Falls Church, Virginia, where I visited the Blue Ridge Mountains, Washington, DC, and surrounding towns for inspiration. And for the next 15 years living there I became established as a portrait painter of people, pets, and places. It was in 2020, just a year after my last workshop with Tony van Hasselt in his home state of Maine, that I moved to Hendersonville, NC. I have been very lucky to find Art Mob Studios and the Art League of Henderson County! While here, I've painted city landmarks, mountain vistas, pet portraits, waterfalls, white squirrels and even several black bears! My watercolor journey continues and I'm very happy to be teaching again this year!
