Class description:
Session 1
Brusho pushes color boundaries and can express how you feel or what you see. Picasso wrote, "colors are like facial features that follow the changes of emotion”. In the first session, we will focus on understanding tonal values, mixing pigment with water. Sprinkle and spritz on wet and dry paper, blending and softening edges, overlapping washes, drop in color. Special effects with salt, alcohol, bubble wrap and bleach will be explored. Watercolor will be added to Brusho and experimented with in the same way.
All supplies provided.
Session 2
Now that you have learned how to work with Brusho and watercolor combined you are ready to create a work of art from abstract to flora and fauna, still life and in-between. Bring an image to paint or be spontaneous and paint what you feel. The instructor will also have images for everyone to use.
All supplies provided.
