Have you wanted to paint in watercolor? Or have you painted in watercolor, acrylic or gouache and are ready to try something new and exciting? Get energized with the freedom and versatility of painting watercolor paint on Yupo non-absorbent, synthetic paper! Unlike traditional watercolor, you can blend and lift paint as long as you want–even after the paints are dry! What a thrill to be able to retrieve and create whites without the resist process. In this class, endless creative possibilities are demonstrated in techniques for rich surface textures, luminous washes, spattering, stamping, deepening darks and lifting whites. You will be amazed as your tutor Cate encourages you to relax and let the paint work for you-a magical experience for both the practiced and beginner painters.
