Paint Flowers of the Chinese Garden

This class will introduce you to watercolor painting, using simple botanicals found in the the Chinese Garden. No drawing needed! Use Rene’s drawings and concentrate on learning painting techniques. It will be specifically geared toward beginning painters and will guide you in choosing materials and teach you how to apply paint, with exercises to learn the basic painting concepts. We’ll paint on wood cradled panels with drawings already printed and ready to paint or on watercolor paper using transfer drawings. Watch René paint step-by-step, then try it yourself. You’ll also learn how to apply acrylic to protect your painting. This class will be a supportive environment for learning and exploration!

Panels and some painting materials will be available for purchase.

Color Mixing Demystified

COLOR MIXING Demystified

Strengthen your paintings with simple color theory, using value (dark vs light) and intensity (bright vs dull) to create mood. Learn to mix watercolor into luminous color instead of mud. Study pigment qualities; opacity, transparency, staining and granulating to familiarize yourself with varying paint characteristics.
 

Master colorful blacks and expressive neutral tones. Explore creative color palettes and how to increase color harmony and diversity in your work. Practice and Play combine in this lively color workshop. All levels of experience welcome.
