Sustainable Watercolor: Cultivating Pigments from Nature
Kayla Powers
Tuition $1,295
Code D0408-26
In this workshop, students have the opportunity to develop unique paintings from handmade watercolor paints while exploring the vibrant, seasonal plant life of Snowmass Village. Through foraging and working with cultivated dye plants, students learn to extract, process, and bind botanical pigments into rich, archival-quality paints. The class includes daily painting sessions focused on plant illustration, color swatching, and cataloging. Participants leave with their own custom watercolor set, a collection of painted studies, and a printed booklet of recipes and techniques to support the continued exploration of place-based, sustainable artmaking.
