Register for Workshop: Watercolor Weekend
Come spend all day Saturday and Sunday creating wonderful art pieces. The BEST part of the weekend is our ‘Play Time.’ Art is at it’s best when we play with the colors and put our authentic self in our work. The focus of the workshop is learning a variety of techniques experimenting with the process of painting rather than producing a product. Funny thing happens when you approach it this way, our paintings become more free and fun. Janie will begin each morning with a demo of various techniques. Afterwards you will go back to your seat and explore the techniques on your own. Janie will give each student individual attention. We typically take our lunch at this time (don’t forget to bring one). The atmosphere of the class is relaxed and informal with each student and Janie helping one another. The afternoon is spent working on your own with numerous demonstrations by Janie during this session! Sunday is basically the same format and with this type of concentration of techniques, students experience success and joy! Some watercolor experience is required. Janie will personally guide you with the purchase of supplies. If you have supplies, bring what you have. Contact Janie to discuss the supply list. Each weekend workshop will focus on different techniques so sign up for more than one weekend. Contact Janie to discuss supplies - janiejohnson@nc.rr.com. 2 sessions.
