Winter Workshop
Botanical Watercolor 1:
Winter twigs and leaves
March 3-4, 2018
$175
Join us on the first weekend in March as we say farewell to winter in this workshop on basic techniques of botanical watercolor. In this two-day workshop, we will use the winter leaves, twigs, and seed heads around us to learn how to do a sketchbook study, color-match, transfer a preliminary drawing to watercolor paper, and brush techniques.
Materials needed
Botanical watercolor is a very precise art, and as such requires very specific materials. We have created a basic, starter paint kit for you to use which is included in the price of the workshop. This kit consists of:
-
12 professional grade pigments and a small palette box in which to store them
-
a professional grade Kolinsky sable watercolor brush (Winsor and Newton Size 1)
-
watercolor and tracing paper
In addition to the kit we provide, you will need to bring the following:
-
two small water containers (such as plastic cups or recycled tuna cans)
-
a drawing board of some kind, to which to attach the watercolor paper, approximately 10"x14" (this can be something as simple as a piece of Masonite)
-
a sketchbook
-
drawing pencils
-
a divider for measuring specimens
-
a magnifying glass
-
a sack lunch (or be prepared to go across the street for a hamburger or taco)
