WATERCOLOR WORKSHOP
Painters searching for an alternative approach to watercolor will find this workshop exciting and stimulating. The workshop begins with simple projects that have been designed and proven to teach the student how to understand and develop their paintings using negative shapes and glazing. The projects become more complex and focus on creating a variety of interpretive under-paintings and building layers with overlapping shapes. Linda will lead the class by interactive demonstrations, lectures, critiques, and by individual attention in "hands on" situations. Participants can expect an inspiring and creative atmosphere, with an instructor who truly cares about helping students achieve their personal artistic goals. ![]() ________________________________________ Yates County Arts Center is offering a 2-day Linda Kemp Workshop July 13 & 14 from 9:00-4:00 Workshop Fees: $125 Members / $150 Non-Members Participants of all levels are welcome, however a basic knowledge of watercolor is recommended.
