Have you ever wanted to try your hand at watercolor? Perhaps you tried it but gave up in frustration. Watercolor is no more difficult to master than any other painting medium once you understand its unique attributes and characteristics, and then apply the principles related to them with practice. Join artist Robert Masla, who has been painting in watercolor and oil for over fifty years, as he shares his knowledge and techniques that can speed the learning process and your comfort level in this relaxed and informative workshop. We will start at the very beginning, understanding paper, brushes, and pigments – and their relationship to water. Through a series of paint-along demonstrations, Masla will lead you in the dance of watercolor painting. You will be given the tools, exercises, and principles to practice and gain the understanding of the give and take between the artist, the brush, paint, paper, and the water that ultimately brings mastery to watercolor painting. This class is ideal for the beginner and for those who wish to strengthen their knowledge and practice, loosen up and increase their skills in watercolor painting.
