Watercolor workshop…it’s official!

by jizogarden5 Comments on Watercolor workshop…it’s official!

I will be giving a workshop in beginning watercolor techniques. There are no prerequisites required to take this workshop. It will be on Saturday the 12th of January from 10am-3pm…bring lunch. The workshop will try to take the mystery out of basic watercolor techniques that will allow you to play with color and techniques that you can apply to your future watercolors.

I will supply the watercolor paper and paints.  The cost of the workshop include the paper and paints. The workshop will be $75.00 for the day.  If there is bad weather we will move the workshop to another Saturday in January.

You will be responsible for your own watercolor brushes, a pallet for mixing colors and a weekly pill container (weird but useful for holding your squishes of paints I will give you =o) Also bring a plain white plate for mixing colors.  You can order these brushes and pallet at http://www.dickblick.com (click on images to enlarge them).brushes listpill box
