"Review of Joseph Zbukvic Workshop and Demo"  

Join us for Chris Flagg’s overview of the watercolor workshop with one of the world’s most renowned watercolor artists, Joseph Zbukvic. Chris will talk about his experience observing and painting along with “Master Z” in the beautiful Hudson Valley, New York, a “bucket list” opportunity to learn from the best. He will then take one of his own favorite subjects, and demonstrate lessons learned with his own personal touch!

Christopher D. (Chris) Flagg, FASLA (Fellow of the American Society of Landscape Architects), has demonstrated an inherent creativity throughout his professional career. As a FASLA, he continually blends beauty with functionality in ways that inspire and motivate one’s inner sense of discovery. His award-winning design ability has touched the lives of many and his passion for watercolor transcends his proficiency to inspire and instruct. His subjects range from urbanscapes to nautical themes, each demonstrating his keen sense of observation.

Chris’ love for watercolor enables that sense of spontaneity, especially as a plein air artist, to flourish freely in his work. His understanding of those subjects adds a great sense of realism and depth. His works have been highly praised through multiple awards and publications and warrant recognition within the realm of watercolor artistry. Chris is a member of the First Coast Plein Air Painters, and co-founder of the Jacksonville Chapter of Urban Sketchers and recently became a member of the Jacksonville Watercolor Society.
