WATERCOLOR WITHOUT FEAR

This is a watercolor class designed to let you jump in and try out this engaging medium through experimentation. We will push colors around, discover what we can do with the brushes, and enjoy the process. Your results will let you discover the possibilities that watercolor offers you.

We will work with various subjects and with all subjects, we will explore different approaches. You will find your best approach, along with your favored palette of colors.

As we progress, we will experience and develop the basic techniques of watercolor painting and realize the characteristics of the medium.

This class is designed for beginners and for those with watercolor experience who wish to expand their knowledge of painting in watercolors.

This is a class for those who love imagining ways to further their visual expressions. We are mostly watercolor-based but branch out into other media. We discuss all elements but mostly color and its interactions, and we explore composition, intention, and process.

CARD RELIEF PRINTING – With the Central Coast Printmakers

Using cardboard that has been prepped with mat medium the students will draw designs or images on the “plate” Then they will use an Exacto knife to carve away and create light and dark areas.  Some linework may be included. After the plate is ready we will ink and print, using a spoon or using a press.  Several prints can be made from the“plate” with color changes if wanted.  2 “plates” per student will be available.
