Museum School of the Provincetown Art Association and Museum

Have you wanted to work with light and color but can't devote a week to a workshop? Do you have some knowledge of the medium, but need practice? This watercolor workshop for beginners as well as all levels of experience, guides you in the use and choice of materials including paper, pigment, brushes, sponges, and where to find them. We’ll look at artwork done in watercolor from a variety of cultures, followed by demonstrations. We’ll focus on technique and then, weather permitting, you have a choice of working indoors or outside.

Workshop Materials List

MJ Levy Dickson explores global interconnectedness through her artwork and has discovered a common denominator in the natural world, through touch, color, light, mood, and subject that transcend conventional land and water boundaries. Recently, she was artist-in-residence at the Perkins School for the Blind and traveled to Iceland and the Caribbean to exhibit her work. She hopes to use her environmentally-focused pieces to communicate the importance of preserving our beautiful natural surroundings worldwide.

Dickson studied with Jan Cox while in the Diploma Program at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and has a BFA from Tufts University, as well as an MFA in Art Education from Boston University. She taught at MIT, the Boston Architectural Center, Lesley University, and the Nantucket Island School of Design and the Arts, as well as privately with all age groups. Dickson works with a variety of mediums in her paintings and drawings to convey a composite relationship between mood and subject. www.mjlevydickson.com www.mjlevydickson.com.
