About The Event
“What’s for Breakfast?
Participants should be familiar with the basics of watercolor, including mixing the paint, using brushes and sponges, shading colors, and applying paint to paper.
The class will focus on the art of watercolor batik. Participants will paint a bear in a tree looking into a house through a window. Then, Elaine will guide participants through the process of using melted paraffin wax to maintain white space and add the classic batik “crackles” to the piece. Finished pieces will be mounted for matting and framing.
All materials will be provided. Class size limited to 10.
