EVENT DESCRIPTION
Fill your day with the colors of spring with artist Shannon Driscoll of Oil and Cotton. Artists like Vincent Van Gogh were inspired by the Japanese woodblock print makers like Hiroshige and Hokusai. Students will be led through a step by step watercolor painting based on the blossom paintings and prints of these great artists. Watercolor is a wonderful entry point to learning to paint. In this beginner friendly class students will learn to create an asymmetrical composition of blossoms by combining simple loose brushstrokes. We will explore watercolor techniques such as wet on wet vs. wet on dry, as well as a bit of color theory.
