Watercolor is a medium that makes no promise of predictability. In this workshop we will expand our understanding of the properties and characteristics of the medium, leaning into the opportunity watercolors offer the artist for letting go of perfection. Participants will explore a variety of painting techniques. Each technique will offer a varying balance of serendipity and structure, expanding your artistic repertoire for self-expression. Participants will be encouraged to focus on the act of artmaking, allowing the final products to stand as evidence of the experience.

Materials Needed: 

• Watercolor paper
• Watercolors
• Brushes of assorted sizes
• Water-based markers
• Crayons
• Paper towel or absorbent cloth

If you cannot attend the Live workshop via Zoom, the recording will be available for you to watch at your convenience!
