Workshop Description:
In this fun 3-day workshop we will explore the use of various GOLDEN gel mediums, grounds and pastes to create dynamic textural interest in watercolor painting. Exercises will be focused mainly on abstract rather than representational Imagery. Students will create 1-2 paintings using 300lb watercolor paper and crescent board as a base surface and incorporate the techniques of pouring, spraying, layering (and possibly dancing)...to create work that dazzles. Students will also create sample boards of the various mediums that will serve visual notes for their future paintings. Open to all levels.
