Come learn with internationally-acclaimed watercolor artist Joye Moon. The author of many books, the winner of many awards, Joye Moon will share with you tips and techniques to render abstracted flowers and cactus.
The project will begin with your rendering of a realistic flower or cactus. Then, through various design elements, the flower or cactus will be abstracted. Focus will also be on creating an interesting background that focuses on the flower or cactus through many different methods and techniques such as: spraying color, using watercolor pencil shavings, salt, alcohol drops and surgical gauze to create amazing textures found in nature. Pen work will complete the painting.
Bring -
Bring a generous supply of your standard watercolor supplies: paint, paper and brushes.
We will be working on a 15"x15" piece of 140 pound cold press watercolor paper. If you stretch your paper, make it a bit larger so the end product is 15"x15".
Also bring:
Viva paper toweling (not the new textured kind)
Floral or cactus reference photos.
French curves if you have them
Black permanent markers such as Micron Pigma or Staedtler Permanent Lumacolor, various sizes.
Joye will provide various supplies to achieve textures such as watercolor pencils, sandpaper, spray bottles of paint, surgical gauze for texture and other items to complete the painting.
