Let’s Paint Some Beautiful Martagon Lillies Together!
Saturday, July 25th
10am – 3pm
Price:
$75
During this five hour workshop, you will begin and complete a watercolor painting of a Martagon Lillies. I saw them for the first time this summer while in Sakonnet, Rhode Island and was just wowed by them! In this workshop, we will bring these lillies to life through watercolor. I took this picture and will be using it as our guide. After enrolling and before attending please draw out your rendition of the lillies on a piece of watercolor paper (140 lb, cold pressed ormore) to the size of your choice. You can draw or trace the image as is or create your own composition by zooming in. I would recommend, however to just draw in the flowers without background. I also recommend taping off your paper to have a nice border. Whether you are new to or confidently established in painting …this day spent will be one you enjoy and cherish!
We begin the morning with coffee and croissants and will spend a moment getting to know one another. After coffee, we will begin to talk about the colors we will be using, format and then jump right into painting! I will guide you through small sessions at the front of the room and then release you to take your turn independently repeatedly throughout the process. This will give you the confidence and guidance you might find with a one on one guided process. After approximately an hour and a half to two hours we will stop for lunch which, of course, you can do on your own or we can do together at one of the lovely restaurants within walking distance of the Morean. Upon returning from lunch we will commence on the background and finer details of our lovely Lillies.
Supplies:
We will be using the colors:
sap green, alizarin, red orange cadmium, cadmium yellow, opera (or similar pink), ultra marine, burnt umber, and burnt
sienna. – Windsor Newton has a rather inexpensive set.
If this is your first time with watercolor, I will be happy to share some of my paint with you so you can give it a try risk free. 😉
The brushes we will be using will be:
8 or 6, as well as, a 2 and a very fine brush for small details like a 00. (All rounded)
Again, if it’s your first time painting and the only supply you have is your paper I will happily lend you some brushes.
This watercolor class will be a day well spent whether you are a beginner or an advanced level watercolorist. Can’t wait to see you!
