Experimental Watercolor
Youth Summer Camp | Registration opens 1/22/2025 9:00 AM EST
This hands-on class is perfect for anyone who wants to explore the possibilities for self-expression in watercolor. In this class, we will play around with drip, wash, tilt, splatter, and splash techniques, and we'll discover how other materials can interact with the paint. We'll also talk about color theory, and students will learn about combining colors for different effects. Students can choose to keep their paintings as it is, or to transform them into new works of art by cutting, collaging, or writing and drawing on top.
