Observe flowers with an exciting new perspective using abstraction interpreted in watercolor.

One day of the workshop is spent on color theory and mixing. Daily demonstrations, one-on-one instruction, and sharing painted work provide the foundation for a dynamic exploration of this nuanced medium.

Watercolor: Marketplace
Jan Heaton
Tuition $1,350
Code D1431-26
Discover inspiration from locally grown produce found in farmers’ markets. Capture not only what you observe, but also your interpretation of subject, as you render the forms with watercolor. Learn to simplify and abstract subject matter and record the essence of a fruit or vegetable with minimal marks. Develop various approaches to the invention of personal color choices and imagery to stretch your preconceived notions of these elements and their initial meaning. Basic drawing, painting, technique, color theory, color mixing, design and composition are explored.
