Course Description

Watercolor has been called the most difficult of paint mediums. The key to its enjoyment can be found by embracing the unexpected, as the ancient Japanese concept of “Wabi Sabi” teaches. We will take inspiration from the nature around us to dance with the unknown- a spill of paint or a color that runs where you did not intend it to go can create beautiful moments in your work. Rather than controlling the medium, we work with the ‘unruly’ components that create works of beauty. It is this participation with the unexpected that will make you fall in love with watercolor.
