Loose and Easy Watercolor Landscapes Workshop
Sunday, February 16, 1:00-4:00
$65 (+ $5 supply fee due at workshop)
At LAST Art Gallery Classroom, 105 W. Louisiana St. McKinney
In this workshop, you will create beautiful, loose, and expressive landscapes in watercolor on the very unique mineral paper. We will use watercolor, brushes, old credit cards, and lots of water to create flowing semi-abstract landscapes.
You can choose to leave the painting as is after the first wash, or choose to be as tight as you want in the final steps. Or maybe just add some simple birds or a canoe.
You will end with a 9”x 12” painting and one or two smaller paintings.
Challenge yourself to flow with the paint!

Watercolor Pour Weekend Workshop

Immerse yourself in the joys of watercolor pouring and learn to create watercolor paintings by actually pouring and squirting paint!
We’ll use the primary colors, allowing them to mingle on the paper, creating gorgeous color blends! We’ll control this juicy, delicious color feast using masking fluid to delineate the whites, lights, and shapes.
Friday evening we’ll draw (or trace) our design, and begin our masking application.
Saturday we‘ll really get into the pouring process: mask, pour, blend, repeat!
Sunday will be the last chance for final pouring. We will remove the mask for the great reveal! Add any desired details with a paintbrush to finish your stunning watercolor painting.
The supply fee covers all supplies we’ll use. Bring a photo that you’ll want to turn into a painting - or use my traceable reference photos.
Bring a lunch or snacks for Saturday, or order from a local restaurant.
Our class will meet at the LAST Gallery classroom at 105 W. Louisiana St., just off the square. Feel free to take a few minutes to wander the gallery and view the artists at work in their studios!
