Wet on wet technique opens a new dimension on watercolor painting and frees us from inhibitions. The technique is more loose and forgiving. It helps us discover a new world of improvisation! By using different color palettes, from bright contrasting colors to more subdued and muted, students experiment with an array of open water techniques to stimulate their imaginations. Nothing more joyful than painting! For beginners to more advanced students.

First class: Learn how to identify different kind of watercolor papers, and how to use brushes to apply wet on wet watercolor techniques with confidence and assertiveness. Then, students will mask two pieces of paper into the different boards and briefly draw the designs.
Second class: Review basic color palettes, by mixing and experimenting with two designs simultaneously. By working with two paintings at the same time, students will learn how to create solutions clearly and swiftly to most effectively succeed.
Third class: Learn how to layer with few brushstrokes after the paper has dried.
Fourth class: Wrap up! Be ready for a surprise finale.
“We all learn from practicing time after time. That is the reason I love to work on more than one piece simultaneously. This workshop is designed to expect the unexpected and to play with water and color palettes. By being more relaxed, we open ourselves to discover our own voice!”
