WATERCOLORS - INTRO LEVEL- $80
LEARN TO Make your own WatercolorS!
This class is an abridged version of the Watercolor Basics Workshop. All of the same strategies and safe handling procedures are implemented in this 2 hour hands-on workshop. Using a glass muller and palette knives, learn to transform dry pigments and resins into lush highly saturated watercolor paints. Choose up to 3 pigments to work with, ranging from Historic Minerals to Modern Synthetics.
We will cover the fundamentals of pigment behavior, surfactants, synthetic, and natural binders. Participants will receive realtime feedback throughout the session, so they can continue making paint on their own. We will also cover safe disposal practices and basic toxicity classifications according to Arts and Creative Materials Institute (ACMI) standards.
