Watercolor & Illustration Abstract Landscapes - Online Workshop With Marika Hahn

Starts: Monday, November 1st, 2021 — 5:45pm
Ends: 9:00pm
Where: Online Zoom Workshop

ABSTRACT LANDSCAPES: Nov 1- With a monochromatic color palette, simplified bare trees and mountains, we’ll create a dreamy landscape. Participants have asked for a lesson on painting clouds. A sky with puffy clouds and a scene of frozen wetland and dried grasses will be an interesting second illustration. Aside from landscapes participants will experiment with wet on wet washes, letting colors flow and blend creating patterns. Using a wide #14 or #16 brush and a sprinkling of coarse salt, interesting abstracts will be created.

Classes are designed for adults with varied artistic abilities, everyone is welcome. Using Watercolor Inks is recommended. Inks are transparent and colors are easy to mix and flow beautifully. Participants preferring to use watercolor in tubes are welcome to use their preferred medium. Each class will start with a demonstration showing specific techniques needed to accomplish completed paintings. Wet on Wet, Wet on Dry, layering/Glazing and Brush Stroke Techniques are part of building your skills. The classes approach watercolor using graphic illustration with an emphasis on composition and cropping.

The process of watercolor painting is relaxing, creative and FUN!

Before each class, participants receive pdf’s of the images we will be working on in class. If participants can print these, to reference in class, it is helpful but not required.
