Watercolor Techniques for Beginners

Learn the secret tricks to successful watercolor painting during this weekend workshop!  On day one, instructor Joan Arazosa will teach students a variety of watercolor practices.  Her demonstration, based off of a still life, will include dry brushing, washes, glazes and wet on wet techniques.

Following the initial demonstration, Joan will guide students through the use of special effects including salt, alcohol, plastic wrap and masking fluid.  Students will then have the opportunity to apply these techniques on their own.

The second day of the workshop will focus on students completing their own watercolor painting based off of a photograph of their choice.  Under Joan’s direction, students will be encouraged to apply the techniques that they have learned.  At the end of the workshop students will take home a finished watercolor painting.

Award winning artist Joan Arazosa has been painting with watercolor for over 30 years.  She has taught watercolor classes and workshops to adults as part of the Miller Place Adult Education program and the Rocky Point Adult Education program.

January 11th and 12th, from 12:30-4:30pm.  Course fee:  $180.
