Painting with the City Chicks June2023 - Watercolor 101 {Zoom}

Hello June!!  This month we will dive into part one of a two part course on watercolor! Bob Ross often said “We don’t make mistakes, just happy little accidents” and watercolor allows for a lot of happy accidents! Watercolor is one of my favorite mediums and I can't wait to explore it with you.

Watercolor 101 will explore:

·        Watercolor Supplies – Brushes, Paint, Paper

·        The Color Wheel – We will be creating one in class!

·        Water Control

·        Watercolor Techniques such as wet on wet, wet on dry, etc.

·        Brush Stroke Drills

·        Color Bleeds

We will create some backgrounds that can be used in scrapbooks or Bible Journaling as frames or journaling squares. And we will finish up class with a fun, colorful, 8x10 painting using the techniques we learned during class.

So, grab a friend, an apron and come join in the fun!!
