Add Mixed Media to your Watercolor

How dare you add a mountain in acrylic to your watercolor landscape? How dare you underline a tree shadow in charcoal? How dare you add marks by an ink pen to show the texture of tree bark?

Doug dares! In Doug Canepa’s March class in Watercolor Plus Mixed Media, he will teach traditional watercolor and also simple techniques that will enhance students’ ability to produce their own artwork. Adding mixed media to watercolor may help students develop their own style beyond basic watercolor.

In this class, Doug will explore strategies beyond traditional watercolor painting by adding acrylics to make images pop. Textured paste, colored pencils and charcoal pencils will be used for texture. Burnishing and blending tools will be introduced as will pen and ink. Individual critiques will help students progress along their chosen path.

Join Doug for this daring class, Wednesdays, March 5 to 26 from 10 a.m. to noon in the Cribari Center Art Room. The fee for this class is $70. It also includes four Open Studio dates for extra practice and attention from Doug on your watercolor.

Bring your own materials and Doug will furnish burnishing tools, charcoal, colored pencils, texturing paste, charcoal pencils and ink. A wide range of subject matter will be based on student interest during the class.
