Join us for a fun day of experimenting with familiar subjects in new ways! Our focus will be on the bounty of the season: fruits, vegetables and flowers. Inspired by their colors and shapes, we will learn how to compose at least three small (5.5X5.5) still life paintings in a square format. Each student will leave with three colorful paintings (mostly complete, depending upon your pace) and a mat. Each would make a perfect gift! This workshop would also be good preparation if you are entering a 6X6 art competition.

Come play with watercolor pencils, crayons, and paint to explore the world of mono-printmaking. Learn about utilizing the secondary image that is created called a "ghost." Your image can be reworked and reprinted several times. The plate students work on is translucent so you can trace/paint over any image you bring (5x7 to 8x10 inch) This is a fun way for watercolorists to pre-test color combinations before committing to a larger piece.
