Sessions

Workshop

LO-FI Watercolor
Thursday, July 16, 8 – 11 am

In this workshop attendees will dip their toes into the wonderful world of watercolors utilizing a variety of simple watercolor techniques to create their images. Watercolors are a fluid medium that encourage exploration through experimentation and are additionally great for tapping into our inner whimsy and curiosity. Additionally, attendees will create a personal watercolor guide exploring wet brush and dry brush techniques, and canvas techniques in an illustrated pattern. Attendees are encouraged to bring their sketchbooks and some favorite drawing tools—pens are encouraged! Watercolors, watercolor paper and colored pencils will be provided.
