This will include discussion, demonstration and exercises regarding the “block-in”, or management of the initial values and shapes that will form the solid foundation for the rest of the painting.Day two will be devoted to the process of how to finish off a painting. This will involve discussions, demonstrations and exercises on how to add details, over-painting and textures in a thoughtful way, to avoid overworking the painting.This workshop is suitable for all watercolorists with some experience.Franciscan Life Process CenterArt Workshop Registration and Cancellation PolicyA $150 deposit or payment in full is required for enrollment in any workshop.
