Service Description

Adult Watercolor Sketchbook Mini Course 4 weeks, 2-hours each 6:15-8:15 pm NEW DATES!!! Mondays, Oct 5, 12, 26, Nov 2 (*Skip Oct 19th) 4-Week Creative Exploration for Beginner-Intermediate Watercolor Artists, or Anyone who Wants to Develop a Sketchbook Practice. Have you ever wanted to explore watercolor without the pressure of creating a “finished” painting? In this 4-week Watercolor Sketchbook Mini Course, we’ll discover the joy of using a sketchbook as a place to play, experiment, learn, and make mistakes. A sketchbook permits you to explore without worrying about perfection! Together, we’ll explore with curiosity rather than expectation. The goal is to develop a comfortable, playful art practice that you can continue long after the course ends. Over 4 weeks, we'll explore: The basics of color theory & how colors work together. The versatility of a size 12 round brush Experiment with salt and mist. Loosen up and embrace experimentation Work with seasonally inspired prompts designed to encourage creativity and observation. Receive sketchbook prompts to continue exploring between classes. Share and discuss our homework together at the beginning of the following class. Dates: Mondays, Oct 5, 12, 26, Nov 2 (**Skip Oct 19th) This class welcomes artists at any stage of their artistic journey, as we will be guiding you along the way. Guest instructor: Amanda McIntyre Materials needed for class: • Size 12 Round Brush • Size 2 Liner Brush • Watercolor Paints with a nice variety of colors (any brand with good saturation). I personally use Windsor and Newton paint tubes. I find painting with tubes better for mixing colors. • Watercolor journal: The watercolor paper must be cotton. For this class, I recommend getting a 5.5x5.5 or similar size Hahnemühle Watercolor Book: https://www.dickblick.com/products/hahnemuhle-watercolor-books/ • Masking Fluid: Fineline: https://www.dickblick.com/products/masquepen-art-masking-fluid/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Dynamic%20Search%20Campaign&utm_id=67736346&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=67736346&gclid=Cj0KCQjwp9vTBhCWARIsANaUrjt_WWdc8ICCGZhx5jjnOjDduQHf69x4ysfawu1gC95kt73lg-P1XL4aAt-REALw_wcB Come ready to experiment, get a little messy, make mistakes, and most importantly—have fun with watercolor.
