Join me in this fun workshop, which will be a spin-off of the February workshop. This time we will create two pages of watercolor effects - one will be for a background and the other will be for cutting out collage elements. We will continue to explore the various ways that you can incorporate watercolor painting using line, texture, and color! Bring your own watercolor paints and brushes along with any other mark-making tools you may have (markers, pens, etc.). Participants will be provided with paper.

​Floral Watercolor Painting Workshop
Saturday, July 20, 2024
{ REGISTRATION IS CLOSED }
This workshop is full.
​
This workshop will be split into two parts. In the morning, we’ll focus on working with your paint and the colors you can create with a limited palette. You will learn to mix paint on your palette as well as achieving rich colors by intermingling color directly on your paper. You'll learn to paint washes and gradients - plus figure out the good and bad about backruns. We’ll explore various techniques to create texture and effects for backgrounds. We’ll break for lunch - bring your own, Grubhub, or slip out and grab a bite at a nearby restaurant. Then you’ll have the afternoon to work on your floral painting applying the skills you learned. I will demonstrate as we go. We'll be painting on an 8 x 10" stretched 140 lb. Arches cold-pressed watercolor paper that will be prepared for you ahead of time. The goal will be to finish the painting at the end of the class.
