Description
Intro to Watercolour on Yupo Workshop WITH KAREN BISHOP
TUESDAY, JUNE 11
6:00 PM – 9:00 PM
$50 + Supply List
Class Limit: 15 Students
Beginners welcome!
In this workshop we will experiment with the flowing effects of watercolour on yupo. Yupo is a super smooth non-absorbent painting surface that suits watercolour pigments beautifully. We will explore how watercolour paint flows to create loose, expressive patterns and shapes, We will also explore how the pigments mix, pushing and pulling each other in unexpected and spectacular ways. Combining this looseness with controlled layering we will achieve exciting and dynamic paintings with colours that are rich and vibrant.
