Watercolor isn’t always about following the rules!

Why don’t we explore alternative techniques and strategies for using this most flexible of aqueous painting mediums. We’ll try our hand with surfaces like gesso-ed paper, Yupo, paintable watercolor grounds and/or collage. Beyond the painting surface, we’lltry altering the paint itself, and possibly even more exciting, our working process as well … all using standard watercolor supplies. For beginners to advanced students who have had at least a little experience with drawing or painting.

There will be lots of demos and feedback to help each student achieve their goals in the class.

HEALTH & SAFETY: As there are no local or statewide health alerts at this time, McGuffey has suspended all mask and proof of vaccination requirements. We do ask that, If you are having active symptoms of a airborne communicable illness or have been in close contact with someone who does, that you please: 1) stay home for a week or 2) that you practice some mild social distancing in class that week and maybe bring and wear a mask.. (See missed class info below.)

MISSED CLASS: Any of us may have to miss a class session because we all lead complex lives. If you are going to be out of class for personal, life, health or any other reason, please let me know ahead of time if you can. I may be able to set up a digital link (via Zoom, FaceTime, or Skype) to facilitate your virtual attendance. If that doesn’t prove possible or suit your situation, I can certainly record a video of the major class session activities (my demo, presentation, critiques, and/or photos of student work in progress, etc.) to send you.
