Have you ever wondered how to loosen up your watercolor paintings? In this class you will
learn to paint expressive, atmospheric watercolors that capture the feeling and mood of
landscapes and seascapes.
We will use a limited palette of watercolors, a palette knife, sea salt, Chinese and round
brushes on 100% cotton watercolor paper. We will add unique gestural marks to our paintings
using inks and a twig.
Painting watercolors this way will help you capture and create memories of place, time and
emotion. It will be a time of observing and embracing how the pigments and inks move in the
water on your watercolor paper to allow the work to evolve. Plan on creating multiple paintings
each day!
The class is designed for experienced as well as beginning painters. I will demonstrate the
technique and then you will paint. There is very little drawing required for this class. Basically,
all you will need is a horizon line! We will paint fast and have lots of fun creating work that you
will be amazed that you created!
