Biography
A Classical Painter with a Contemporary Point of View
Patricia Watwood is a leading figure in the contemporary figurative realist movement. In her studio pictures, you’ll find women, nudes, allegories, and characters that incorporate myth and narrative to explore the universal themes of human life. In a style that is classical with subtle contemporary cues, she uses careful drawing, lively color and brushwork, with a sculptural sense of form to create highly realistic and palpably emotive works.
Her works have been seen at the Beijing World Art Museum, The European Museum of Modern Art (MEAM), The Butler Museum, and held in the permanent collections of The St. Louis University Museum of Art, The New Britain Museum of American Art, and The Salmagundi Club. Watwood creates commissioned portraits, which hang at institutions such as St. Louis City Hall, Washington University, and Harvard University.
Watwood is the First Vice President the Salmagundi Club of New York, a Signature member of the Portrait Society of America, and listed as a Living Master by the Art Renewal Center.
Watwood earned her MFA from New York Academy of Art, and studied with Jacob Collins as a founding member of the Water Street Atelier. Her teaching includes video instruction courses, like Creating Portraits from Life, with Streamline Art Video, and Seven Days of Drawing, with platform Craftsy.com. She has written articles for American Artist, American Arts Quarterly, and Fine Art Connoisseur magazines, and she teaches online with Terracotta.art, and in workshops around the country.
Watwood’s first book is The Path of Drawing: Lessons for Everyday Creativity and Mindfulness, an instructional book on nurturing your creative self. With simple-to-follow lessons, this book offers a systematic approach that combines basic realist instruction with a focus on the common mental hurdles that can interfere with our work. By bringing awareness of our emotions and thoughts to our practice, the act of drawing builds within each person qualities of patience, confidence, gratitude, and bravery. Written for beginners, hobbyists, as well as more advanced artists, The Path of Drawing is the newest illustrated book from Monacelli Studio, and an elegant, yet practical workshop-in-a-book with the ability to nourish mind, body, and spirit.
