The Watercolor + Illustration Workshop (for INTERMEDIATE skill level painters) uses Liquid Watercolors provided by the Marlborough Arts Center and is designed for adults with an understanding of basic watercolor techniques including wet on wet, dry brush and a solid control of brush strokes. This medium is transparent and colors are easy to mix and flow beautifully. Participants preferring to use watercolor in tubes are welcome to use their preferred medium. The workshop begins with a watercolor warm up and demonstrations showing specific techniques needed to accomplish completed paintings. Wet on Wet, Wet on Dry, Layering/Glazing and Brush Stroke Techniques are part of building skills. The class approaches watercolor using graphic illustration with an emphasis on fun! Each workshop offers a different theme/inspiration with references supplied. This workshop is not intended for beginners.

Flowers + Persimmons copy

There is a BEGINNER Workshop on the same date from 2 to 5 PM.

FLOWERS + PERSIMMONS: Watercolor is the perfect medium for blending subtle pastel colors into deep vibrant colors. Demonstrations of wet on wet showing how to blend the colors will have participants practicing and honing their skills. Adding unexpected (in a floral composition) shiny and vibrant persimmons will make illustrating this composition rewarding and above all, FUN. This is an interactive class with demonstrations and personal one on one painting with Marika. Reference photos of peonies, hydrangeas and persimmons are provided for each participant.
