Mainely Water – Watercolor Workshop with Margaret Dwyer
Thursday, May 8th from 10am - 4pm
The Kittery Art Association Art Hub (Lower Level Studio Space)
The waters and islands of Maine have been inspiring artists for centuries. This tradition continues with contemporary artists being drawn to New England seascapes. Watercolor is the perfect medium for capturing the essence of ocean water, skies, rocks, and islands. In this workshop, demonstrations of techniques, brushwork, and color choices will allow for options of how to approach this subject matter. Saving whites will also be addressed. Learn how to create natural looking textures and how the glazing process works by layering colors. Watercolor has a life of its own and is always surprising. Being willing to respond to the medium rather than forcing it to conform to a preconceived outcome is part of the visual conversation. Wherever you are on your watercolor journey, this relaxed and informative class will broaden your knowledge of watercolor’s potential and encourage you to further explore this amazing medium.
