Creative Classes

 *Price includes a $30 Studio Fee for all materials provided.

Class Description:

In this class, students will experiment with different watercolor techniques to make a set of 10 postcards. We will practice wet-on-wet and wet-on-dry techniques to make mini paintings. Subjects for these paintings include DAM-inspired artwork, landscapes, flowers, and abstract designs. I will demonstrate and have examples of each of these styles.

What to Expect:

Students will roam the galleries for a set period to look for inspiration. They will be challenged to re-create a loose, watercolor version of at least one chosen art piece for one of their experimental designs for their postcards. Participants will experiment with different techniques and subject matters, and walk out with several (10 or more) finished watercolor postcards that they can mail or display.

Class Cancellation Policy:

If a class or workshop needs to be cancelled due to inclement weather or teacher illness, a “make-up” day will be scheduled on a FRIDAY or SATURDAY as the educator’s schedule allows.

Materials:

All materials will be provided for this workshop and are included in the Studio Fee of $30.
