Autumn Art - Fall and Winter Theme

Using Watercolor Paint  and/or Watercolor Pencil as our base, I’d like us to “stick our toe”  into adding an additional media or using a different support.

I  will demonstrate our subject using a typical watercolor or watercolor  pencil painting on white paper, but I will also add at least one other  new technique for depicting our subject by adding an additional media or  using tinted or colored paper as a support.  

Over  the autumn and winter I’ll introduce using graphite pencils with our  traditional media, or using an ink pen, liquid artist inks, or adding  glistening metallics or other luminescent media.

I will introduce using tinted or colored paper with either dry or wet media.

As  always, I’ll demonstrate each subject using just watercolor paint or  watercolor pencil.  There will be no need to purchase any new supplies  unless you want to add something.  

Our subjects will include everything from fruit, flowers, seasonal items, to birds, and insects.   

Not  intimidating, (hopefully!) not confusing, just fun!  Please join us to  either try something new, or just enjoy some time with your preferred  media over this autumn and winter. 

AUTUMN  

Sept 8th & 15th Changing Seasons

$25 for the two sessions together

As  we transition our seasons, I’d like to focus on a favorite summer and  autumn fruit, demonstrating each using watercolor paints, watercolor  pencils, or a combination.  I’ll also have a few options for complexity  if you’re interested.  I’ll begin by demonstrating an heirloom tomato,  both using white and tinted paper.  Next, I’ll demonstrate a beautiful  gourd using similar colors but adding some fun texture and quirky color  transitions.  This one probably isn’t tasty to eat, but I sure love  painting them!  I’ll demonstrate this gourd using white and tinted paper  and I’ll add graphite pencil with each media for those who are  interested.  

Many of us love mums in a variety of  forms and colors.  I selected these mums to paint because of their  subtle melding of a few different colors.  I’m excited to use my  demonstration to show how adding graphite pencils to watercolor paint  and watercolor pencil washes can combine to achieve delicate color and  form, while maintaining the kind of control many of us appreciate.
