Reflections & Expressions: Northern Michigan in Watercolor for Teens

Description

This intensive three-day workshop is designed for teen artists ready to develop deliberate artistic expression in watercolor. Drawing inspiration from the Northern Michigan landscape around Thoreson Farm, students will master advanced techniques such as glazing (controlled layering) and monochromatic value study to understand light and depth.

We will focus heavily on composition and using color theory to convey specific moods and atmospheres, transforming observation into expressive art. The journey culminates in a series of intentional watercolor studies, bound into a reflective natural portfolio.

Instructor

Karin Jones is a seasoned art educator with an MFA from Northern Michigan University. With over 18 years of experience, she inspires young minds through visual arts, especially watercolor and photography. Her teaching philosophy centers on nurturing creativity and developing artistic skills. She tailors instruction to meet individual needs, drawing on her diverse experience, including nine years as a Montessori lead teacher in an upper elementary classroom. When not teaching, she enjoys family time, often relaxing at the beach or watching the playful antics of her miniature dachshunds and yellow lab.
