9/15 - "Storm" Art Journaling Workshop

Service Description

Saturday, September 15 9:30am-12:30pm A day at the beach interrupted by afternoon thunderstorms in Florida?! Yes, nature halts for no one and the forgotten beach ball gives testimony to the quickly changing weather. When we look at art we sometimes only see part of the narrative. At a quick glance, this looks like it is about the colorful beachball sitting in the sand dunes waiting for someone to come and fetch it. It is not until we “read” the entire image, that we begin to understand the title of the piece. Looking into the background, we see the building storms and darkening horizon line as well as the peculiar teal green the water changes to. In the Beach Treasures: Art Journaling class, we’re going to tackle backgrounds and making them part of the story. We’ll work on reflections, shadows and building up form shadows to make a beach ball read as round. Don’t let the storms keep you away—come and join the fun! ​ Supply List 5.5” x 8.5,” 7” x 7” or 7” x 10” Watercolor Sketchbook (For someone just getting started I recommend Canson Montval Watercolor Spiral Bound Pad, 7” x 10”) 0.5- or 0.7-tipped mechanical pencil White Eraser Kneaded Eraser Small/Fine Tipped Permanent Pens in sepia/brown* White Uni-ball Signo Pen** #7 or 8 round brush OR a large waterbrush #2 or 4 round brush Or a detail waterbrush Watercolors..
