- **Event Description**: Watercolor is an amazing, transparent medium that creates luminous effects when layered. It is also very responsive to creative ways of textural mark-making that complement more traditional methods. Creating natural looking textures in watercolor can enhance all genres of subject matter. It can transform the character of simple specimens from the natural world, suggest detail in landscapes, flora and fauna. 

Our subject matter will focus on ocean treasures such as shells, rocks, starfish, seaweed, and sea creatures. Create an underwater scene or individual nature studies. There will be lots of beautiful natural specimens in the studio to inspire us along with colorful printed references. Color choices and the timing of techniques will be stressed. We’ll learn a few tricks using masking fluid, salts, and other materials. 

Demonstrations will show how a painting is brought to life through the layering process. Being surprised by this magical medium and then bringing an image to completion with one’s own artistic voice is what makes working with watercolors so gratifying.
