Mondays | August 3rd  - 24th | Class Time 6:30pm - 8:30pm 

 

Let your paint do some of the work! In this workshop, you’ll explore painting with generous washes of water and pigment, learning how to guide color as it flows and dries. This class offers fresh techniques for experienced painters while giving beginners an inviting introduction to big wash painting.


You will be working on imagery of your choice but there will be some photos to choose from. Suggestions are florals, fruit, birds, animals or simple landscapes. 

 

No experience needed, but students will need to provide some of their own materials.
