Studio 1

In this studio-based watercolor and mixed media workshop we will explore painting and drawing with tube watercolors and watercolor pencils. Various experimental effects will be employed to depict light and shadow and contrast using warm and cool colors with the addition of applications of translucent layers of collage, applied subtle textures and use of open unpainted spaces. Demos and exercises will incorporate further use of mixed media into watercolor painting, including resist mediums, different grounds, such as gesso and acrylic medium, and collage with acid free tissue paper and rice paper onto watercolor paper. The subject focus will be on natural elements such as water, rocks, and insects using photographic sources, for example, lily ponds and streams and small still life set ups in the studio of water vessels and flowering plants to make mixed media studies. Contemporary and historical artists will also be referenced.
