Title: Watercolor & Pastels;: 1 Session
Instructor: Emily Weil Date: November 16 Day & Time: Saturday, 10:00 am – 1:00 pm Description: In this class we will learn to work chalk pastels and charcoal into your [very dry] watercolor painting. Starting with watercolor on paper, we will experiment with both abstract concepts and a loose interpretation of a still life. I will demo my loose-style of painting using the Daniel Smith triad (which may include an ink drawing), and then work into the dry watercolor painting with pastels. Pastels add pops of bright colors and can make a flat-looking watercolor painting looser, fun, abstract and a little wild. Come join us as we make lovely chalky messes! Fees: $55 Members; $65 Non-members Materials: Downloadable list or you have the option of $20 fee for a watercolor travel palette and papers. Materials fee payable to instructor on day of workshop (please bring cash). Please wear clothes that can get paint on them. I will bring a can of spray-fixative for helping fix the pastels at the end of class. Notes: All skill levels; 16 years old and above Minimum enrollment required for workshop to proceed. No prerequisite. Limited seating! Similar classes you may like:
