Description
Watercolor by Chryl Casso Corizzo
This workshop will focus on many fundamental principles such as balance, center of interest and movement (CBM), all simple techniques that can transform your work. Emphasis will also be placed on values, compositional aspects and a limited palette.
Realism is obvious in Chryl’s work whether that be nautical scenes, landscapes, architectural objects or portraits. She paints what excites her with the hope that it stirs emotion and excitement from the viewer about a painting.
Chryl is a signature member and member of the Board of Directors of the Louisiana Watercolor Society (LWS) and has exhibited in national and international exhibits. She teaches beginner and advanced classes at Abbey Art Works in Covington, Louisiana.
Chryl Casso Corizzo, LWS
Chryl, a native of Louisiana, started art lessons at the Baton Rouge Fine Arts Academy in Baton Rouge, Louisiana at the age of twelve. She later assisted at the Academy with children’s lessons as a teenager and by the time of high school graduation, was selling the majority of her original work in the Baton Rouge area.
Chryl continued her art during and after her college years, refining her skills and completing many pieces of original work, both commissions and commercial art. Now living in Mandeville, she worked as an assistant art instructor at the Mandeville Baton Rouge Fine Arts Academy.
Many of her paintings are composed and painted while boating along the scenic Tchefuncte River, in Lake Ponchartrain, the Rigoles, and along the Mississippi Gulf Coast in addition to her travels in the Unites States and abroad. Chryl uses a variety of techniques, including pencil, pastels, watercolor, acrylics, oils, and egg tempera.
Her work has been accepted and exhibited in shows sponsored by the Louisiana Watercolor Society, the National Acrylic Painter’s Association, the New Orleans Art Association, and the St. Tammany Art Association, as well as the Mississippi Watercolor Society and the Art Guild of Louisiana’s River Road Show. Chryl was selected as the 2005 Madisonville Wooden Boat Festival poster artist. She is a signature member and Board of Directors member of the Louisiana Watercolor Society and currently teaches beginner and advanced classes at Abbey Art Works in Covington, Louisiana.
