WEEDS

Monday Jan 26th - 10:00 - 12:30 - $50.00


  • This painting is a bit more challenging than it looks.


  • There is no pencil drawing in this and we will use a combo of wet on wet, wet on dry and some stamping and imprinting as well as  light applications of frisket to break things up a bit.


  • The additional techniques of sponging and use of metallic in the background takes a light hand so we will for sure practice beforehand, so no worries.


  • This is a great exercise in loosening up and expanding your tool kit of techniques so you can have fun trying it at home on your own.

FAVORITE CLASS - SO LET'S DO IT AGAIN!


  • Using the wet on wet technique over a very light pencil sketch,frisket here and there to give pops of white space, you will learn how to create this cheery loose palm tree piece.


  • Using salt you will learn how to create some fun texture in the background of your trees, adding some layers of colors over the salt as well as  beneath.

BIG FAT SUNFLOWER

Monday Feb 16th - 10:00 - 12:30 - $50.00


Back again!  Class favorite


  • Using the wet on wet technique over a very light pencil sketch, you will learn how to paint this loose sunflower.


  • This is an exercise in letting go while also being in control of where the paint goes.  I know, sounds contradictory.  You'll See!


  • We will salt a bit of the background and do some negative painting so you can get a taste of how that can add some pop and drama to a piece. 


  • We will also utilize our brushes to do some stippling and create texture in the paper for a bit of a 3D feel.


  • Lots of fun and very satisfying.

BASIC WATERCOLOR FOR BEGINNERS

Monday Feb 23rd - 10:00 - 12:30 - $45.00


  • Great class for those who  feel they can't draw, have never painted anything but a wall or felt watercolor ran away with them and they became totally lost!

I've got you!!


  • I will take you step by step through some very basic techniques so you can experience for yourself that you are in charge of the paint and where it goes.


  • I will show you how to compose some simple floral shapes that result in a lovely impressionistic painting suitable for framing.


  • I supply all materials including a mat so all you will need to do is to get a frame should you choose to display your work of art.


  • Lots of fun.
