SUMMARY:Capturing Story in Watercolor Portraits with Jackie Dorsey
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\nTuesday, November 18 at 7pm at the Shallowford Annex\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor the last decade, Jackie has been working on an exhibition honoring Georgia’s Legendary Musicians.  The original exhibition took place from June 8-August 31, 2023 at the Lyndon House Arts Center in Athens.  Now touring, an expanded exhibition with new originals will be on display at the Marietta Cobb Museum of Art from September 26-December 13, 2026.  In this lecture, Jackie will give a sneak peek to this exhibition and share her strategies for obtaining photo references and for translating the musician’s personality into the final paintings.   In her musician series, Jackie’s goal is to channel and honor the musician’s story. In other paintings, Jackie focuses on creating paintings to channel her own stories and concerns.  These convey political and environmental concerns along with her reflections on aging and her own mortality.  Jackie will share her process, planning, and techniques for creating these paintings as well as share practical tips and tools for creating the initial photo reference and concept.\n\n\n\nAbout the Artist\n\n\n\nJackie Dorsey is an award winning artist based in Athens, Georgia.  Her area of specialty is watercolor on paper with a focus on portraiture, nature and still lifes.  Her work has been juried into numerous local, state, national and international shows. She is a signature member, and former board member and President of the Georgia Watercolor Society.  She has attained signature membership in a number of art societies including the American Watercolor Society and the National Watercolor Society.   Whether portraiture or still lifes, she is passionate about capturing the spirit, story and likenesses of her subjects.\n\n\n\n(Image: Bare Ruin’d Choirs by Jackie Dorsey)\n\n\n\n\n
