Tom’s passion for watercolor and his love for teaching combine to create a dynamic workshop experience that is enjoyable, informative and inspirational. Tom’s watercolor workshops focus on the importance of concept and how to bring an original idea to fulfillment with paint. Tom will discuss such topics as value relationships, planning the painting, design principles, and usage of color. A variety of daily demonstrations allow participants to see how Tom approaches a work from concept to finish. The demonstrations include a range of subjects from landscapes to figurative. Students work from their own references as they are presented each day with new challenges intended to promote thought and encourage exploration. Ample opportunity is provided for everyone to paint with individual direction/guidance a priority. Group critiques allow everyone an opportunity to learn from the works of others. Painters of all levels of experience are welcome.

“Tom Francesconi is a terrific teacher. The class was a real joy in every aspect. Tom’s enthusiasm and energy infected the entire class in a very positive way. I look forward to taking another class from Tom in the future.”

Jane Tine – Dare County Arts Council/Roanoke Island Festival Park workshop, Manteo, North Carolina

“A workshop with Tom Francesconi is a special treat. Tom Demonstrates with enthusiasm and clarity. He has a knack with words – being able to precisely describe something so that it is clearly understood. Students in his workshop sponsored by the Watercolor Society of North Carolina, Inc. were greatly inspired by this artist.”

Motsie Brooks – 2002 Exhibition Chairperson for WSNC
