Tuesdays in October Class: Adding Depth with David Norris

How about incorporating new media into your drawing and paintings? This class, taught by mixed media artist, David Norris, combines watercolor with gouache and colored pencil using a technique inspired by 19th century artists. Beginning with a mid-tone wash to your watercolor paper gives a quick start to a vivid painting. Playing against the medium-toned background, dark colors and marks recede into the background, while white gouache, color pencil, or bright watercolor seem to jump out in front.

The toned wash also can allow a minimalist approach, with only quick touches of line and color being necessary. The background tone has a way of filling in, and making the painting look “complete”, creating a harmony of color by lending the background tint to the overlying paints.

This class is for students of all levels.

Tuition cost is $260. There will be 4 sessions for this class. Class size is limited to 7 students and will occur on Tuesdays from 10am – 1pm, October 7-28, 2025.
