Charles Reid was a master watercolorist. I had the opportunity to study with him on several occasions and will treasure those times as I remember this talented artist. Charles passed away on June 1st. The photos above are of him doing a demo for the Vermont Watercolor Society two years ago with his painting in the middle on the left side and two small sketches I did of him at a workshop I attended years prior. He will be missed.
Such sad news; it's amazing to see how many artists, on so many different platforms, are sharing memories of him.
ReplyDeleteI took one workshop with him in Cape May NJ and it was amazing. Of course I had all his books, and some of his videos ... he was a superstar, and a very nice man.
OH my. How sad to hear. Although I never painted with him, I have most of his books and a wonderful DVD of him teaching floral painting that I treasure. I know that several of my favorite artists are gone now. Did you know George James? He was famous for his paintings on Yupo. I know he had cancer and died a few years ago. How wonderful that their legacy will go on with their books and films. Charles was so unique. I just love his work. Thanks for letting me know.
