Join a fun-filled day of watercolor painting! The focus is on painting animals using watercolor techniques. We will discuss washes, wet into wet, negative painting, values, color, texture, and composition as we paint an animal of your choice. Loose or detailed will work: how would you like to paint your animal?

The day begins with discussion and a painting exercise. Together we will work step-by-step on the elements and the techniques of painting. Artists will receive a choice of animal photos for reference during class time.

Students are welcome to bring a photo of an animal to paint.

The light across a field or a child in a water fountain can spark the inspiration. Kathleen's artwork will have different subjects including portraits, landscapes, buildings, animals, and more.
