Loose Liquid Landscapes in Watercolor Workshop | Lorraine Rimmelin | 4/9 10 am - 2 pm | Spring 2022
Workshops | This class is completed
Do you want to loosen up your painting style? Painting loosely requires the ability to let go of controlling watercolor and allowing your paint to move freely on the paper. Losing control while painting can be a painter's worst nightmare - but in this workshop losing control is what makes or breaks these dramatic landscapes. Mastering the loose technique will create a movement of pigment and water to acheive stunning shapes and designs.
Are you ready to put paint on paper and let it flow?
Let's unlock our creativity and allow the watercolor paints to take us on a journey and see what is possible when we let it flow.
No drawing skills required - all skill levels welcome.
- Brushes: #10 round or larger, 2" flat, #4 rigger (and any brushes you like painting with)
Paint: These landscapes can be painted in any colors you like. Here are a few colors the instructor will be painting with:
Raw umber - raw sienna - yellow ochre - prussian blue - mineral violet - quinn rose - olive green - quinn gold
Tubes of paint only - we will be squeezing paint directly from the tubes. Bring any colors you have.
Paper: 4 pieces of 11" x 15" 140 lb watercolor paper
A full sheet (22" x 30") can be broken down to smaller sizes. I highly recommend you purchase Arches 140lb or 300lb. The techniques we will be using only work on high quality paper.
Additional Supplies: masking tape and a board to hold paper, spray bottle of water, and old towel or cookie sheet for dripping paint on, 2 large water containers, paper towels, a palette with a large mixing area, and old/used credit card or gift card. This list contains essential supplies needed to participate in this workshop.
