Painting Little Treasures - Miniature Quartets in Gouache, watercolor, and Ink

with Miriam Hughes

May 14th (10 AM-3 PM ET) 2022

Saturday, May 14 - 10 am to 3 pm

Working small does not have to be tedious or overly detailed. Creating a series or a theme and working small is a rewarding way to explore new mediums. Either working in one medium alone or mixing the water-based mediums available, we will create small treasures from 1” – 4” square. Learn how to create a powerful composition in a tiny space and leave with frameable artwork. One frame per participant is included in the fee. The frames are all 5” square with a 3.75”” open space for the image.

This workshop explores the value of creating a series of small paintings which tells a story (the seasons, blossoming of a flower, etc.) or be abstract with a continuous link between each piece. Let your imagination unfold as we create petit quartets.

Series work can lead to fascinating subject explorations!

The class fee includes watercolor paints, brushes, paper and other supplies but please feel free to bring other similar supplies that you would like to try out. More frames can be purchased in class or ordered on line.
