Second Watercolor Workshop Added At Black Spruce Gallery

Dipping my toes and my brushes in the waters at Cannon Beach, Oregon.

Are you still thinking about registering for the one day Splash & Squiggle Ink & Watercolor Workshop that I’m delivering at Black Spruce Gallery next month?

Well, here’s some news you need to know.

Since the workshop on Friday, August 10^th is now fully subscribed (Yahoo!), I’m also going to be delivering a second one-day workshop on Thursday, August 9^th. (Yahoo!) 

It will be the same great ‘See & Try’ format for learning on each day. So if you’re interested in joining us, delay no longer!

To register and reserve your space in the workshop: Contact Cheryl Tuck Tallon at Black Spruce Gallery.  Phone:  306-229-1471 Email: ctuck@sasktel.net

PS1 – If you were hoping to attend the workshop on the 10th, check with Cheryl anyway. With the opening of a second day, there may be some individuals who shift to the Thursday, freeing up a few spaces in the Friday session.

PS2 – In case you missed the initial description of the workshop, you’ll find it below.

Splash & Squiggle Ink & Watercolor Workshop

If you want to learn more about painting lively, light-hearted, colorful ink and watercolor sketches, this workshop is for you.  Instructor, Patricia Katz, will share a sampling of the techniques she uses to create her whimsical, colorful vignettes of the world.

You’ll be treated to a series of ‘See & Try’ experiences – brief demos followed by hands on experiments. There will be no pressure to create a grand masterpiece – just an invitation to explore and enjoy.

You will learn more about:

• Using continuous line contour drawings to loosen up and warm up
• Cultivating the art of noticing as a way to breathe more life into your images
• Creating dynamic lines and taking a creep ‘n’ crawl approach to composition
• Playing with an Elegant Writer to produce fun and easy images
• Mixing and applying watercolors in ways that keep them fresh and lively (using place ‘n’ pull and toss ‘n’ tease techniques)
• Combining watercolor splashes with ink lines – for contrast and emphasis

Morning instruction will be held in the classroom and (weather permitting) the afternoon session will take place en plein air (in the great outdoors).

Instructional Level: Some prior experience with watercolors will be an asset, but is not essential. Instruction will be geared to Beginner/Intermediate levels.
