Small Format Watercolor Workshop - January 3, 2024

   

Small Format Watercolor Workshop 

Join us January 3, 2024 at 6:30pm PST

Ready to have a fun hour or two with other creatives painting watercolor? We had a great time in December so let’s do it again! Live online and interactive.

In this workshop “small” means 5x7”, 8x10”, 9x12”

You may want to choose the smaller format for three reasons:

1. Limited display space.
2. Cost of framing.
3. Practice for a larger composition.

Join me from the comfort of your own home on Wednesday, Jan 3, 2024 at 6:30pm PST

Paint along, ask questions about watercolor materials, methods, etc. Get some unique tips and hacks from experienced artists.

Suspended

"Suspended" by Michele Cooper
Original Watercolor Size: 22x30"

When I am alone in a snowy woodland, I feel suspended. Somehow the snow muffles the sharpness of the sounds and sights around me.....time stands still.

I suspended the figure in the near center of this snowy world of warm and cool greys in an attempt to communicate this feeling.

Mountain Mist

"Mountain Mist" by Michele Cooper
4"x6" Original Watercolor

This "sketchy" style of painting can be a quick way of composing the colors, values and shapes for a larger painting. The small size allows for control of wet, or damp brushwork to create atmosphere, distance and form.
