This workshop is perfect for anyone eager to explore these versatile mediums and create artwork with a charming vintage aesthetic. You’ll learn how to layer washes of watercolor, add dramatic depth with India ink, and achieve bold details using gouache. The process includes a balance of wet and dry techniques, allowing for rich textures and striking contrasts. Due to the necessary drying times between layers, participants are encouraged to bring multiple black-and-white reference photos, enabling you to work on several pieces simultaneously. By the end of the session, you'll leave with a collection of dynamic and visually captivating paintings, as well as new skills to continue exploring this delightful art style. All levels are welcome—just bring your creativity and love of experimentation!

You will need the following supplies:

Board for drying your painting on (qty 1-2)
Arches 140 pound cold press Watercolor paper 11"×15" (2-3 pieces)
Watercolors
White gouache
India Ink
Brushes
