Beyond the Frozen Pines – Watercolor and Ink – Session 1
Date: Sunday, January 22 (week 1)
Time: 10 am-12 pm
Registration Deadline: January 19
Format: Online via Zoom
Don’t brave the cold this winter; stay inside and create art with this three-week course (take one or all three). We will learn about watercolor, ink, and sketching out a well-balanced composition. In week one (Jan. 22), we’ll head into the pine forest, capturing the density and quiet of winter wood. In week two (Jan. 29), we will look to the snowy dunes and frozen lake for inspiration. Finally, join us in week three (Feb. 5)for a chance to create a painting with some friendly chickadees.
The techniques we’ll gather along the way include:
• Color-mixing.
• Creating value with ink and layers.
• Allowing ourselves to explore texture.
This class is designed to help you get the most out of your art practice. As we walk among the frozen pines this January, you may find something new about yourself.
