that speaks to your special celebratory time.

MINI TREES X 2
Wednesday - Sept 2nd - 10:00 - 12:00 - $45.00
- This mini watercolor combines wet on wet and stipple techniques which I thought would be a fun class as well as a bit challenging.
- We will work on 2 5X7 pieces and I will show you one step at a time how to wash the background sky with several muted colors. This is an exercise in restraint and less is more, even though we will use about 4 or 5 colors for the sky.
- The trees are done using a small brush and stippling the paint first.. then I will show you how to blend the dots. Layering the colors of course so you get a nice 3D effect
- So, for those wanting to continue to practice your backgrounds, skies and wet on wet but on a small scale, I think you might enjoy this.

WILDFLOWER WEEDS
Wednesday - September 23rd - 10:00 - 12:30 - $50.00
- This class is a fun challenge in that there is no pencil or line drawing at all.
- A super exercise in shaking things out, staying loose (*or getting loose) and allowing the watercolor paint to show you her majick!
- We will use frisket to help us create some all important "white space" while we flick stalks and stems, dab on blower dots with paint and at the end, create "orbs" using bottle tops and wine corks, applying different shades of Chinese metallic golds.

SALTY PALMS
Saturday -Sept 26th - 10:00 - 12:30 - $45.00
- Salty Palms has proven to be a very popular class because, apart from just the fun of it, we are using unconventional colors like pinks and purples, that actually do remind me of the lovely evening skies and hues here in Venice.
- Going south on 41 over the bridge to downtown Venice, the tall palms on the left have some of these tones so it's fun to attempt to capture some of those .
- As always I will guide you through the process of sketching your trees lightly applying frisket and then through glazing (or layering) water color washes, we build out the leaves.
- We will also use salt in the background which creates a unique feel to the painting by adding a pop of texture.

INKY POPPIES
Monday -Sept 28th - 10:00 - 12:30 - $50.00
- This inky and quite loose poppies class has proven to be very popular because, apart from just the fun of it, we are using a limited palette, precision line work with the ink and then painting a bit outside the lines with wet on wet. So, lots to learn and accomplish!
- As always I will guide you through the process of sketching your piece, then lightly inking and finally the painting process.
- All materials provided - just bring yourself.
