Watercolor Workshop - Foundations/Loosen Up!
Why are people afraid of watercolor? This is a workshop to help you relax and learn to love the medium. Using a wet-on-wet approach, we’ll demolish the old tropes – yes, you CAN change things, no, “mud” does NOT have to be the usual result of color mixing, controlling the “uncontrollable” IS possible, and MORE!
We focus on working with water, learning how to mix colors, understanding paper, and using the strengths (and weaknesses) of the medium to your advantage.
Within these hours (including a ½ hour for lunch), we’ll work lots of wet paint along with using many different surfaces and methods.
This is a workshop that focuses on new techniques, learning to control the uncontrollable, and having a blast with this amazing medium. It is a great workshop for beginners as well as those who are looking to shake up their practice.

Deep Dive - Painting Water
Watercolors offer an exciting and unique way to connect with this molecule that makes up most of our planet. But painting it – ugh! This 4 hr. workshop will include several exercises that will help you see different ways to approach this wonderful subject. The first half of the class will focus on these unique exercises after which we’ll take a ½ hour lunch.
The second half will focus on creating a painting with water as an integral part of the piece. While I’ll have some suggestions for that painting, you’re also welcome to bring a subject you’d like to paint so that you can get started on a painting you’d like to do.
We’ll work very wet (it’s water after all!) and these exercises may blow your mind – we’ll change the mindset that water is the most difficult subject!
It is helpful to have taken my Foundations workshop before this course but it isn’t required.
This will be scheduled again in the new year- contact me if you're interested.

GO BIG!
Working LARGE in watercolor is a challenge. How do you keep the paper flat? Where do you start? Waiting for paint to dry! What if you “mess up”?
Each student will bring their own project that they want to work on. I will be in touch with everyone before the workshop begins to make sure that you’re prepared. And each student will work on either a full sheet of paper (22” x 30”) or a full square (22” x 22”). (There will be an opportunity to purchase paper through the class if you don’t have any.)
Throughout the 5 hour workshop (with ½ hour for lunch), we’ll stop at points to go over specific strategies using lifting, advance planning with water and paint, and more.
You may not have a finished piece or you may have more than one. This is a workshop to help you GO BIG in watercolor.
This will be scheduled again in the new year - contact me if you're interested.
