Andy Evansen’s interest in art started in childhood, as he can’t recall a time when he wasn’t drawing. He began painting watercolors in the mid 1990s as a change of pace from his career as a medical illustrator. Choosing a ‘style’ was not difficult, as Andy was always inspired by the watercolor paintings of British artists Trevor Chamberlain, David Curtis, Ed Seago and Edward Wesson, among others.

He found himself attempting to capture the landscape with the same economy of brushstroke, taking advantage of the luminosity of watercolors done in just a few washes. In addition, he was impressed with the way those artists seemed to capture everyday scenes in such a way that revealed a hidden beauty, subjects that many would simply pass by.

His work gained recognition after winning an international watercolor competition through American Artist magazine, appearing on their cover in 2005. He’s been featured in numerous other publications since, and has become a sought-after workshop instructor who paints and teaches internationally. He became a signature member of the prestigious Plein Air Painters of America (PAPA) in 2012 and served as their President from 2015-2017. His paintings have won numerous awards, including the Bronze and High Winds Medals from the American Watercolor Society, and he was their demonstration artist for the 2018 Exhibition. His love of painting on location also led to him being a featured presenter at the 2014 and 2016 Plein Air Conventions and inclusion in the 2017 Qingdao International Masters Watercolor Plein Air Event.

Andy Evansen Watercolor Workshop supply list

-Paper; please have a 9x12 pad of watercolor paper (Kiliminjaro from Cheap Joe’s works well, or Arches makes a 9x12” pad also) for value studies as well as good quality paper, quarter sheet size, for paintings. I use Arches and Winsor Newton cold press and Saunders 140 lb. rough.*You may want to bring a 12x16 block of Arches 140lb cold press for the exercises we will do together.

-Paint; Tubes of paint, not the dried up cakes in pans. My palette consists of Neutral Tint, Paynes Gray, Ultramarine Blue, Cobalt Blue, Cerulean Blue, Raw Sienna, Burnt Sienna, Quinacridone Gold, Alizarin Crimson, Cadmium Red, Cadmium Lemon. (*These are suggested colors, you’re welcome to use what you have ) Most are Winsor & Newton, but I’ve found Holbein’s Raw Sienna to be better.

-Palette; must have good size mixing area. The John Pike palette is wonderful.

-Brushes; Use what you’re comfortable with, but I typically use a squirrel hair mop brush for big early washes (Silver makes a good variety of Black Velvet round watercolor brushes available from many art supply venues), a size 14 or so for the ntermediate washes (Cheap Joe’s Pseudo Sable is a good option), and a smaller size 10 synthetic for detail work.

-No. 2 pencil and kneaded eraser

-Water container

-Household sponge for drying your brushes and a natural sponge for wetting your paper. Also, it’s nice to have a small plastic container for your household sponge so it doesn’t leak water all over the table.

-Artist’s tape, ½” wide
