Note: This is a multi-session event series. By purchasing the event package, you acknowledge that you can attend all event dates included below.Breathe... With relaxing music in the background, connect with your creative side! Paralleling the idea of meditation, this class focuses on the process over the destination and on “letting go” to permit watercolors to guide you, rather than you controlling them. The result is a pleasurable, relaxing, and even therapeutic experience that allows you, the artist, to watch the mysterious, seductive essence of watercolors unfold as you engage with the fluid paint, brush bristles, paper surface and different additives. This four-part series will help you open up not only to the possibilities of watercolors, but get you in the right mindset for experimentation and learning any style of art in the future.
As a follow-up to my Watercolor Basics class, in this series you will learn more ways to manipulate watercolor, through tools, mediums, substrates, as well as how to stretch paper. This is a class for beginner and intermediate levels and those interested in discovering or exercising their imagination and creative side.
