Upcoming Workshops:

"Delicate Tulips", watercolour, 9 x 6", April 2 - class is FULL

Painting Workshop - Delicate Tulips

Watercolour can have a beautiful loose quality which can be delicate and expressive, but hard to control.  We can have some influence over that expression with a bit of planning to get at least close to the results we want.  In this workshop, we will practice ‘preserving our whites’ as we splash and explore creating these relaxed, gentle spring flowers.

 

 

 

 

 

"Our Own Great Wave", acrylic, 9x12", April 16 (April 9 class is FULL) 

In 1830, the Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai began work on a series of woodblock prints entitled "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji" which were depictions of the sacred mountain from different directions, and in different settings. "The Great Wave off Kanagawa" is the best known of this series, and makes beautiful use of the Prussian Blue pigment newly available to Hokusai. Using that blue as the focus of a limited palette, and employing a modern trick or two, we will create our own version of this famous, influential, piece.

 

"Sunlight at the Beach", watercolour, 6x9", April 30 (April 23 class is FULL)

Wet-on-wet, lifting, dry brush, fan brush, scratching, glazing, watercolour pencil…all the things! Watercolour sometimes can be temperamental, but at the same time, playful. In this workshop we will put to use the versatility of this medium, exploring a handful of different ways it can be manipulated, allowing us to create a relaxed vista of early evening over a quiet beach.
