2024 Summer Workshops
In this painting course, you will explore your own history and the history of painting, focusing on the “mystery of the everyday” and asking the question, what is it in me that makes me want to paint?
Taking in the magic of our surroundings, the beauty of Provincetown and the light that has drawn artists to this unique cape, we will use watercolor techniques to express our responses. The starting place is play and getting lost in both the medium/material and the subject.
All levels are welcome, some experience is helpful, but basic instruction will be provided. Students should bring watercolor sketch pads: Aquarelle Arches Watercolor Block, 140 lb both hot pressed and cold pressed, and set of watercolor paints. I will provide additional colors. If you have a hair dryer, please bring it.
