Workshop Overview

In this fun and exciting workshop, we will create exciting textured backgrounds for paintings of natural subjects. We will then turn these into harmonious, successfully finished paintings using the watermedia of your choice. Texture makes your painting feel more dynamic, creates a sense of depth, and helps viewers emotionally connect with your work. We will focus on creating textures that work well with natural subjects like rocks, trees and water. Texture is sometimes visual (on the surface) and sometimes dimensional (raised above the surface). We will work with both types in this workshop.

Materials List: Students Bring

• Three large (22 x 30) sheets of watercolor paper (any brand). 140# weight is fine, unless you really like to work on the heavier paper. Either hot or cold press is fine - Pam likes to work with hot press and Jennifer likes to work with cold press. You can also work on a gesso covered board (like Gessobord or Claybord or your own) if you prefer, but also bring one large piece of watercolor paper.

• Watermedia paints of your choice -- watercolor, acrylic, gouache and inks all work well. Bring colors you like to work with.

• Spray bottle and a bucket for water.

• A palette and brushes you like to use as well. A large mop brush or wash brush is nice if you have one.

Optional:

• Texturing materials such as stamps, stencils, scratchers, natural sponges, textured fabric or paper, shells, etc. We will have a large assortment for you to use as well.

• 1-3 old paintings you don't mind reworking
