INSTRUCTOR: Rob Head EMBELLISHED WATERCOLOR Aug 3, 4, 5, F 1-5 pm, Sat 10-4, Sun 11-2 class description Expand the medium of watercolor using a multi-layering technique. Combine water-based mediums and paints, creating beautiful veils of luminous color, pouring the color and saturating the paper with successive thin washes, then embellishing with the textures of mark-making, the process revealing natural form. Expand your practice in watercolor, acrylic and/or dyes working on heavy 140lb. paper using alternative tools; scrapers, sponges, brushes, soft pastel, oil stick, wax and charcoal. This method can be used by beginners and advanced artists to evolve individual work and ideas developing personal imagery.
