Elements of Nature and Texture - Part "Duex" - September 28, 29 and 30, 2019
Watercolor, just by its fluidic nature, lets us explore in a way that no other medium allows. In this sequel we will revisit a few techniques from the first workshop and then add additional techniques to build upon our texturing foundation. Here is a brief outline of what one of our days will look like:
Morning: Prepare textured watercolor paper using gesso - a very fun way to impart unique under-patterns on your paper. This will allow them to dry overnight
Afternoon: Create an original stamp to create your own unique patterns on your pieces.
Learn new ways to apply texture to surfaces with wax paper and deli wrap (not what you are thinking... 😉)
Location: Sage Brushers Art Society, Bend Oregon.
Cost: $250 - some experience with watercolor is required
For information and to sign up contact Barbara Crislip: barbjc45@yahoo.com or 503.209.3492

Pen and India Ink With Watercolor 3 Day Workshop - March 13, 14 and 15, 2020
|
The marriage of watercolor with pen and ink can be magical. In this three day workshop we will look at how to incorporate Pen and Ink in a dynamic watercolor painting. On day one we will begin with looking at the different pen strokes and the ways pen techniques are used in a painting. Then we will apply that to a piece to be completed with watercolor. On days two and three we will explore watercolor textures with pen and ink in a more freestyle way. We will create our own small watercolor journal to use with our pen and ink techniques. I will demonstrate some tips and tricks on how to prepare a journal for future paintings.
A supply list is provided upon registration. Contact me for a space. Dates: May 8, 9, 10 2020 In the Studio at Blue Pansy Cottage Time: 9:30a to 3:30p daily Cost: $275 per person Location: 5585 NW 164th Ave, Portland, 97229 |

It was an amazing trip with days full of painting, great food and wonderful friendship!
