WATERCOLOR: MOVING BEYOND THE BRUSH

September 3-Monday
9:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m.
Presenter: Karen Kappell, FSPA
Now is the time to expand your choices and energize your art with great brush-free water-media techniques. Using brushless methods early in a painting frees the imagination and leaves refinement with the brush for a later phase in the painting. Bring watercolors and any water media, plus a stretched half sheet of watercolor paper. Floral compositions work well with this program. Fee: $30.00. Bring a lunch. Register by Monday, August 27.

WATERCOLOR: WATER WEBBING WITH FALL LEAF PATTERN

September 4 -Tuesday
9:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m.
Presenter: Karen Kappell, FSPA
Imagine tiny threads of color vibrating in the background of a colorful fall painting. That is what water webbing has to offer. It is a beautiful delicate effect and a soft method to use with watercolor paintings. We will learn this technique to create a background pattern and then apply an overlay of printed leaves. Bring watercolors, a stretched 1/2 sheet of stretched watercolor paper, a spray bottle with a soft mister and some pressed leaves. Fee: $30.00. Bring a lunch. Register by Tuesday, August 28.

WATERCOLOR: CREATING A PAINTING WITH MULTI-LAYERS

September 5-Wednesday
9:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m.
Presenter: Karen Kappell, FSPA
Rich color layered over color builds depth, richness, and mystery in a painting. This method of painting is especially good for old watercolor paintings that you consider failures and for a subject that is abstract in theme. Bring watercolors and supplies, a stretched 1/2 sheet of re-stretched watercolor paper or new stretched sheet. A variety of other media will be available for your use. Fee: $30.00. Bring a lunch. Register by Wednesday, August 29.
