Watercolor Painting Demonstration
Watercolor painting demonstration by a local award-winning watercolor artist and jurist
Pablo Villicana-Lara will demonstrate watercolor painting at the El Cerrito Art Association meeting at 7:00 pm on Mar.13 in the Garden Room of the El Cerrito Community Center.
Pablo is a local award-winning watercolor artist and jurist. His discovery, 20 years ago, of the tangible quality of light and clarity of color possible with watercolor compelled him to abandon all other media (oil, ceramics, pastel, and textiles) to work exclusively in watercolor.
The heart of his image making has always been his love for his culture, color, and spirituality. He says, “I was raised in both Mexican and American cultures; most of my paintings reflect my deep respect and connection to my Mexican Native heritage…and sometimes my quirky sense of humor.”
