Slippery Surface Watercolor
Date: Saturday, May 6
Time: 9 am-3 pm (with a lunch break)
Registration Deadline: May 3
This class is for all skill levels and will explore three “slippery” surfaces in watercolor. We will bravely paint Gesso on paper, Watercolor Board, and Yupo paper. All these surfaces lead to unlimited corrections and manipulations. There are no mistakes that cannot be corrected. Textures abound, and gravity leads to extraordinary, unexpected results. Join us for a fun exploration! The instructor will provide some materials.
