September 26 - Karen Hickman - watercolor of a cat
Karen has been painting with watercolor for 25 years and teaching for the last 12. This is an opportunity to use some fun, exciting colors and learn how to paint a cat's eyes.
From Karen:
For this workshop we will be painting this beautiful cat that (attached ). Trace or sketch out on an 8x10 piece of watercolor paper beforehand. I personally use Arches 300 lb hot press or cold press. Sometimes hot press is easier to lift.
For colors I like to be very free with colors and will use many variations of cool and warm colors.
These are the colors I will most likely use and if you want to try some of these great. With that said I know paint adds up quickly so please feel free to use your current palette.
Verditer blue Holbein
Mineral violet Holbein
Cerulean any brand
Cobalt blue
Indigo
quin burnt orange Daniel Smith
Payne's gray
Sepia
Yellow ochre( my favorite is Schmincke)
I will most likely use some turquoise for some accents.
Brushes - a variety of round brushes as small as liner to 14 round. I use a combo of synthetic and sable . Please bring what you are comfortable with.
Some nice tools to include - no-bleed white, and masking fluid. I like Pebeo
If you choose to use mask ( I might use but very sparingly , bring a small bar of soap to protect your brush (think motel size. )
I'm looking forward to seeing each of you and and we will have a wonderful time.
