Today's watercolor pencils are truly a fine art medium with a pigment quality
just as good as watercolor. They are sometimes called water-soluble pencils
and they're pure pigments that dissolve in water. They can be used for wet

layers in a painterly fashion for extremely rich works. You will learn about
shading, washes, and a graded wash. You will also learn to create linear
effects that are difficult to get with a brush. This is a fun class where
you'll learn new ways to enhance your watercolor paintings and watercolor
drawings.

MONOPRINT (BEGINNING) Fee:
$45
Do you want to have fun learning a new painting technique? Bring your landscape,
still life, or animal photos and learn how to produce monoprints. This technique
is credited to an Italian printmaker in the
17th century and used by
Degas to create over 300 monoprints in the latter part of the
19th century. This
is a painting/printmaking technique that produces a one-of-a-kind piece of
art. You will paint on Plexiglas, then your painting will be applied to a
moistened sheet of watercolor paper by running it through a press. The press
transfers the painting onto the moistened paper. The Plexiglas can be run
through again to create a "ghost" of the image.
