This is a pre-recorded 3-hour workshop with an accompanying PDF and additional pre-recorded video. Join us for a 3-hour workshop on Magic + Mist: Painting Watercolor Worlds.
+ Learn basic color mixing, layering, and basic “erasing”
+ Create watercolor bleeds that are misty and expressive.
+ Lay down layers of color that build depth
+ Create misty, magical little orbs of delight
+ Play with different ways of playing with watercolor in a circle format, both similar to, and different from the samples.
+ See how the simplest patterns become your unique art when you manipulate them mindfully.
Let’s embrace the mystery and magic of watercolor.
We will be approaching these watercolor circles with a mixture of playfulness and structure. I will teach you some basic skills about how to make the watercolor move and mix, and how to add and take away color. We will also get playful, seeing what surprises this medium has in store for us. This is a playful class, not a technical approach to watercolor.
No, this is open to everyone. I approach watercolor in a playful, intuitive way. While I don’t approach watercolor in a technical way, I will show you the basics that will help you create these beautiful orbs of magic and mist and find your own fun orbs as well. This is a practice that brings me a lot of joy and I want to offer it for you too.
You will provide your own materials as this is an online class.
