As part of the Assisi Arts Community's Creation Series, Raquel Kueffner will be leading a series of watercolor workshops inspired by nature. While these workshops will build some on one another, each stands alone with a specific project focusing on different subject matter.
Workshop 1: Birds. Introductory techniques with mixed media.
Workshop 2: Flowers. Painting a still life.
Workshop 3: Landscape. Perspective and composition.
Event cost: $25 per workshop. A one-time $25 materials cost for paint and brushes.
Materials will be available at the workshop. If you would like to bring your own, you can bring them day of and check with the instructor to see if they will work for the project.
* Payment can be made by cash, check or credit card at the event.
EVENT DETAILS
Workshop 1: Birds – Sat, Mar 23. 1-4pm in The Port (COMPLETED)
This workshop is inspired by Genesis 1:20— “On the earth let birds fly beneath the dome of the sky.” During this first workshop, we will introduce techniques for watercolor washes, and will combine watercolor with colored pencil to create mixed-media images of birds.
Workshop 2: Floral Still Life – Sat, Apr 27. 1-4pm in The Port
This workshop is inspired by Genesis 1:11— “Let the earth bring forth vegetation.” During this second workshop, we will introduce more techniques in watercolor, painting a still life of fresh flowers.
Workshop 3: Landscapes – Sat, June 1. 1-4pm, in the garden at St. Patrick's Church
This workshop is inspired by Genesis 1:12— “and the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit.” Weather permitting, this will be an outdoor workshop. We will explore linear and atmospheric perspective and how to use a viewfinder for framing and composing an image.
