Description:

Be inspired by winter garden features such as amaryllis, snowberries, poinsettia, holly, and more as we create miniature works of art as greeting cards. Susan Pearson will demonstrate various techniques such as creating patterns, quick and simple impressions, wet on dry and wet into wet, and finely detailed realism. Some painting experience is recommended.

Six watercolour paper blank cards will be provided per person.  

Susan suggests that participants bring the following materials:

Watercolour Paints - Holbein brand: Red (Carmine) Yellow (New Gamboge) Blue (Peacock blue). Can add Olive Green, Opera (hot pink), and Payne’s grey.

Detailed Brushes – size 01 for fine detail. A good array of brushes includes sizes 04, 1, 4, and 6.

Mixing Palette - plastic or ceramic white surface

Sketching – 2b mechanical pencil and white eraser

Water – 2 mason jars or 2 yogurt containers
