2-day In-person Workshop
$200 member $245 Non-member
Join Cole on this watercolor journey where we will create a wonderful painting using just a mouth atomizer and masking fluid! Yes, there is a little bit of brush work involved, it is watercolor after all, but the vast majority of your painting will be done with a mouth atomizer. I developed my technique after being inspired by the urban art scene in Berlin. Come along as we explore techniques for creating textures while making a harmonious painting by using a limited palette. Regardless if you are an abstract or representational painter, landscape or portrait lover, you will leave with an additional tool to integrate into your individual painting style.
During this 2 day workshop experience we will go step by step through the process and at the end of the second day you will have a completed half sheet cityscape or still life painting. Both images along with the starting instructions will be provided ahead of the workshop. You choose which one you want to paint and arrive ready to go!

Intuitive Painting with Ink, Watercolor and Gouache on Paper
This workshop is designed to teach all levels of students to paint intuitively, starting without preconceived notions or outcome. There will be no preliminary planning or drawing. Process will dictate direction as students use watercolor, ink and gouache to implement elements and principles of design. Instruction will start with random ink marks, then color using a mixture of ink, watercolor and gouache to create a library of design elements. There will be regular comments and evaluation of work in progress concerning relationships between elements and principles. It is entirely possible finished work may be representational, but the goal is work which is compositionally pleasing and aligned with the artist's personal aesthetic.
