In this class, we are going to play and experiment with Peerless Handmade Watercolor Sheets. These paints are super cool and a bit different than traditional watercolors. Very vibrant in color. Really convenient to take with you to create when you don’t want to take all your supplies with you.
We are going to create a set of 4 paintings, starting out with them all taped together and painting on them as if they are 1 big sheet. Then we will peel the tape and evaluate how successful each piece turned out and what additional items are needed to finish out our pieces. Whether that be extra paint, marks, or other materials that inspire you.
I truly enjoy these intuitive sessions. We get to play and experiment. Letting go of expectations and just having some fun. These times are what allow you to grow as an artist and have fun creating in unexpected ways.
This class is for you if:
- You love learning new techniques for your art
- You are interested in experimenting and creating in a more intuitive way. Letting go of expectations and exploring your materials.
- You love watching how others approach their art practice
