I’m offering several virtual painting workshops for the spring/summer in Alpharetta and Nashville and my first is “Experimenting with Aqueous Media” starting on March 12th!
Painting with flashe, watercolor, acrylic and indigo
Explore the possibilities of water-based media and expand your painting toolbox! This course is intended for beginner or intermediate students who are motivated to expand their ideas and creativity by using a variety of techniques including: watercolor, ink, acrylic, gouache and flashe paint.
Flashe paint on paper
The first two classes will focus on introducing the materials, current artists working with those materials and demos that build the technical skill and enhance the students’ abilities to translate their ideas onto paper. The students will then have the opportunity to paint more freely during the last two sessions and emphasis will be placed on experimenting with the water-based materials to create a final piece or series. Students will be encouraged to work outside of the sessions and build upon the techniques learned in the previous classes. The final class will include a presentation of the work each student created.
Painting with flashe paint on hand-dyed silk
I’m excited to offer my perspectives on water-based media and share my techniques with others through this first workshop! I value experimenting, taking risks and painting from your inner knowing. I often think too much pressure is placed on creating something “perfect” rather than something from the soul.
Gouache and ink painting from 2015
Acrylic, watercolor, ink, gouache and flashe paint offer a range of possibilities for technique and experimentation - while also having a more manageable clean up than oil paint :) The class is perfect for new students painting out of their homes who want to expand their painting practice with new media and techniques.
