Sign up for Ciel Duke’s Watercolor Workshops

Popular art teacher Ciel Duke is offering two upcoming Watercolor Workshops. The first one-day workshop will focus on painting various types of skies. This will be on Saturday, February 15, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. with a lunch break.

The sky is frequently the most important part of a painting, not only because it occupies a large area of the composition, but also because it can effectively and dynamically create a mood. Just a few quick strokes can bring to mind a sunny day, a sunset or an approaching storm.

Class time includes demonstrations followed by painting time for at least four different skies.

The second workshop will be on painting trees, on Tuesday, February 25, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. with a lunch break.

These workshops are for artists with experience in watercolor—intermediate or advanced level. Various types of quality watercolor papers will be provided by Ciel. Participants will bring their own paints and brushes. The cost is $50 per workshop, or $90 for both, if registered together.
