In this two-day workshop, you will spend time observing the endless colors, forms, and shapes found
in birds & botanicals. While discovering the unique qualities of watercolor, you’ll develop sensitivity
and facility to color, tonality and value building.
To learn and strengthen your understanding of color, we will spend time mixing a primary color
palette. We will, collect, observe, and paint the local foliage found on the Featherstone grounds.
There will be demonstrations of new techniques and tools that will awaken your creativity. Your
paintings will feel looser while becoming more realized. By building a relationship with the materials
and the subject, you will capture the colors, movement, and forms of birds & botanicals.
Individual attention and insights will be focused on building your art-making and creative practice.
