The July 21st workshop is sold out, but we still have room in our August 18th workshop, thank you for your interest!
Paint the garden in watercolor. Learn to paint what you see and create beautiful watercolors. This class will concentrate on watercolor washes and mixing colors. We will also talk about composition.
Suitable for all skill levels, 16+, Instructor: Melissa Gannon
Supplies:
Paints: Tube or pan paints are fine, whatever brand fits your budget. Colors needed: Red, Blue, Bluegreen, Yellow, White (Chinese white or white gouache)
Brushes: a couple of small, round brushes or Aquash water brushes
Palette: Windsor Newton travel palette or whatever palette you have is fine
Paper: 140 pound (or heavier) cold press—make sure that it is 100% cotton!— 9” x 12” or smaller. Up to 10 pieces—watercolor can go really fast! Paper can be single sheets or a block.
A piece of foam core board or something sturdy if you’re using single pieces of paper (don’t forget clips or masking tape to attach your paper to the foam core)
A sketchbook for practicing, mixed-media works fine
Water containers - something small like a single-serve yogurt container works well
Rag or towel for cleaning your brushes
Pencil and eraser if you like to sketch first
Colored pencils - optional
