DESCRIPTION
In this two-day workshop, you'll explore watercolor painting as a practice to relax and be creative. With teaching artist Lisa Anderson as your guide, you'll dive into painting in-season botanicals.
Lisa is an illustrator, artist, designer and educator who loves to inspire others to be creative. All are welcome, no matter their previous drawing or painting experience.
She will teach you how to mix your own colors, and cover values, technique, tools, process, rendering styles, lighting and composition, to develop your confidence in watercolor painting.
On the first day, we'll paint a color wheel using the three modern primary colors, and you'll have time to practice drawing and apply your color mixing skills. Lisa will demonstrate how to work with watercolor paint to develop your palette.
We'll also practice wet-in-wet and glazing techniques. We'll have time to play and experiment, to get comfortable with watercolor effects. Lisa will demonstrate the painting process and give one-on-one help.
On day two, we'll cover composition and background color, and you'll have a chance to use your new skills to create a cohesive painting. You will come away with a final piece and the skills to create many more.
