Class Description

Take your watercolors to another level and capture the gritty crunch of sand, the delicate veins of a leaf, or the unpredictable beauty of a stormy sky by looking beyond the paintbrush. In this playful and experimental workshop, you will: - Create crystalline bursts perfect for starry nights, snowy landscapes, or sandy beaches through salt granulation. - Trap paint with plastic wrap to form sharp, rock-like edges, glacial ice, or abstract geometric folds and use sponges, tissues, and rags to build soft, cloud-like volume and realistic foliage. - Master the art of the spray bottle and use water spritzing to create moody blooms, misty atmospheres, and soft gradients. - Use palette knives or stylus tools to score the paper, creating sharp veins, branches, and fine-line details. Whether you are a total beginner or a seasoned painter looking to break out of a creative rut, you’ll leave with a toolkit full of dynamic techniques to make your next painting pop. For teens and adults; all supplies included.
