with Carole Hunnes-Nielsen
One day workshop: Saturday, April 25, 2020
9 a.m. - 4 p.m.
$95.00
Watercolor batik is an amazing resist technique that combines painting with watercolor and melted wax on rice paper. Batik creates a loose look that can not be achieved with traditional watercolor methods.
This technique will change the way you paint. It is a process of painting in alternating layers of paint and wax. The wax is removed in the final step.
We will begin with a planned design to lead you through learning the process and then progress to designing your own painting. You will be given the opportunity to use a variety of textured and colored papers to experiment with.
You will also learn how to prepare your paintings for framing with a traditional mat or floating your painting in a mat.
MATERIALS TO BRING:
Students will provide their own materials. A supply list will be sent out prior to the workshop.
