LIMITLESS LAYERING WITH WATERMEDIA
is for experienced beginners to advanced artists, and will open the door into the exploration of various combinations of acrylic mixed with other media with an emphasis on water soluble paints and mediums. The focus of this workshop is to explore watermedia: everything from watercolor to gouache, gesso, acrylics, inks, mark making tools, collage and more. These techniques will be applied to a variety of subject matter of our choice from realistic to abstract. It will include lessons on transparency of mediums, viscosity, texture and surface quality—rough, smooth, shiny, matte---and using acrylic mediums, to create our own unique artistic statement. Emphasis on design, personal style, class work. Includes demos, lectures, critiques, individual assistance with Jean, lots of resource material.

Fee: $345.00 (after March 20 ...$355)
