Frogs, Toads and Turtles in Watercolor Gouache Resist with Miriam Hughes, May 7 at 1PM ET
from $35.00
Class Description
Using the seven-step watercolor gouache resist process we will create delightful amphibious creatures. Working in 8”x10” format I will take you through the step-by-step process of creating graphic-looking frogs, toads and even turtles. Nature offers so many design qualities which are perfect for this process. Gouache Resist is a fascinating 7-10 step process that results in a vibrant, wood-block style painting!
Choose your own references to create the drawing, or work from your own froggy pets! This class takes longer than our usual watercolor classes, so have a cup of tea ready and relax and enjoy a creative afternoon! Class time is listed for 2 1/2 hours. Length of time may vary depending on the number of participants.
Duration: Class may run long depending on the number of participants. Class will consist of live demonstrations with students working along with the instruction. There will be time for questions and answers.
Please make sure you can attend the class you signed up for as we cannot transfer tuition. Due to privacy issues we will not be able to distribute videos of these live classes. Thank you.
