Jessica L Bryant Watercolor Workshop
August 10, 9am - 4pm
In downtown Coeur d’Alene, Idaho
Details:
Cost: $125. This class is intended for all abilities. People who are new to watercolor will leave with a good understanding of how the medium works and how to practice and improve at home. Advanced painters will be challenged to push out of their comfort zone in order to broaden and strengthen skills.
There will be an overview covering observation, value, color mixing, etc to get us all on the same page, to reinforce knowledge, and to warm up. We will move into exercises that can be customized to build your skills and help discover (or further develop) your personal painting style and unique voice. In the afternoon we'll walk through a small painting together. It will be a very dense day.
Beginners are asked to carefully review the materials list and accompanying video online to ensure that they come with a basic setup that’s ready to go. Let Jessica know if you are brand new, and she may be able to meet with you early the day of the workshop in order to help you set up your palette. It is also recommended that you watch the first 3 free videos at www.jessicabryant.com/online-classes. They will help you feel more prepared and be more familiar with your materials.
More advanced painters are asked to come with an open mind and some courage. The intention of this course is to help you advance your own goals, so we’ll discuss where you are and where you wish to go. If you’d like to bring a couple finished paintings along for feedback, please do.
Materials:
A list of suggested materials can be found on Jessica’s website, as well as a video that offers an overview for those who are newer to watercolor. You don’t need to have the exact paints, paper, or brushes that Jessica uses. If you already paint, bring what you have and we can discuss if there is something you might want to add. Do be sure to have the large cellulose kitchen sponge. You can find the list and more information at: www.jessicabryant.com/materials
Optional:
Bring a few reference images you are interested in painting. You may be able to use them for one or more of the exercises instead of what Jessica provides. There will likely be an optional evening event.
