Instructor: Vessna Scheff

Medium: drawing and watercolor

This workshop is designed for the beginner to advanced student seeking to become comfortable with mark making, hoping to find enjoyment, awe and ease in painting with watercolors, and enhancing their techniques with watercolor painting.

Exploratory exercises will build comfort in watercolor painting by: learning the timing needed for achieving desired effects such as soft blends, crisp edges, and controlled layering; discovering tools and techniques for refining work (yes- it’s possible to “erase” watercolor!); and providing prompts for seeing as it translates to watercolor painting. Exercises will enable students to develop a fluid and colorful sketchbook practice, as well refined abstract and representational works.
