Watercolor on Canvas – $81/Month

Monday 11 am – 1 pm  Beginning Feb 6 @ Jennie’s Studio at Trends

After painting watercolor on canvas for 8 years I am tickled to see that this technique has become wildly popular. We will explore the techniques used to paint on canvas as opposed to watercolor paper and learn how to prep the canvas correctly for application of the watercolor. Canvas board as well as stretched canvas will be used ( you will need to purchase both) but, you can use the brushes and pigments that you are accustomed to using. Prepare to dive right in to a world of watercolor you will fall in love with.

Ocean, Beach and Palms

Take in the salt air, surf the waves and feel the soft sand between your toes and get the feeling of total relaxation every time you see your painting from this 8-week series. Everyone who paints loves to try a beach scene with breaking waves, blanket foam, soft sand and tropical palms. Lets make it easy! 

Trees

From prickly pines to majestic maples trees come in all shapes, colors and sizes. They sway with the wind and transform into beautiful color palettes with the changing seasons and time of day. During this 8-week series you will learn how to transform your watercolors into a  gorgeous colorful tree painting.

Water, Puddles and Their Reflections

After the afternoon showers that we enjoy here in Florida, many rain puddles are left behind. These puddles hold the reflections of the bright trees, flowers and clouds surrounding them. They are the temporary mirrors of mother nature, but how do you create a watercolor painting that can express this beauty? Once you’ve stopped splashing in the puddles, enroll in this 8-week watercolor class. You will discover the beautiful techniques to creating a watercolor of, well, water.

Wooden Barns, Countryside and Perspective

Rusty nails protrude from creaky hinges, years of layered paint peels slowly away from wooden walls and the sun shines brightly through the boarded up roof of a forgotten barn dotting the countryside. How can you capture each small detail? How do you portray the life that this old barn brings to an otherwise blank field? This watercolor class will teach you the techniques used to capture the wooden character of old barns and mix in a little bit of perspective, because after all, it is almost impossible to create any building without knowing the basics of perspective and vanishing points.

This 6 week session is formatted along the lines of a workshop.  There will be a booklet and drawings for you to keep
Supplies are not included. It doesn’t matter if you have specific colors on your palette. You will use what you have- brushes too.
Yes, it is formatted  as  “I do, you do” because we will be learning specific techniques. After this session you will want to use what you have learned in you original paintings.

There are 3 Barns:

Basic – small barn  in the beginning- under painting with color
More involved -  medium barn including landscaping – foreground mid- ground and back ground
Very involved -  shed/barn with negative painting
This is for ALL levels.   There is alot to learn in this one.
