Understanding Colors for the Watercolorist
10 Week Workshop
Charlene Collins Freeman
Tuesdays 9:30am - 12:30pm
January 8 - March 12, 2019
$275
Designed to help watercolor artists understand both color theory and paint properties, we will explore the properties of watercolor pigments (transparent, opaque, staining, fugitive, granulating, on my!) and we will look at different ways of mixing color (on the palette, on the paper, wet-into-wet, glazing). We will experiment with color temperature, value, and intensity of pigments. We will learn about the advantages of painting with a limited palette and we will make a lot of color charts in the process.
We will play with formulas that work well for specific subjects (skies, skin, shadows). We will explore how to match colors and study classic compatible palettes (colors that work well together in a painting). We will look at the emotions of colors and explore the use of color through art history.

$190
Are you captivated by maps? Maps are everywhere and there are so many different types. They help to find our way, orientate ourselves, tell a story, visualize a path, and identify where things are. They can be personal or shared with others.
This 6-week workshop will explore different types of illustrative maps that we can draw. Your project will be to draw a place of a place that you know well and are connected to. It can be your home or neighborhood, home state, home country, favorite vacation spot, your garden, or favorite walk with your dog. Any place is okay as long as it is a place you know and love. Illustrating a map tells a story of a place that’s important to you. It’s a thing of beauty but also conveys useful information.
I will be using a sketchbook with ink and watercolor but you can use the materials you are comfortable with. Design elements and considerations of map design will be addressed and discussed throughout the workshop with plenty of examples of illustrated maps. There will also be plenty of time each week to work on creating your personal illustrated map.
All skill levels welcome.

If you’ve ever traveled and spent your time away experiencing and exploring, chances are you took pictures to capture memories of your trip.

The process of creating is a big plus too!
Maybe you brought a sketchbook with you on your trip and got some sketches done, or not. A travel journal can be worked on before, during, and after any trip. A page or two can be enough to mark the event, or a whole sketchbook can be devoted to the topic.
This 6-week workshop will take you through some of the ways to start your travel journaling and record those memories. You should have photos from a trip you’ve taken that you’d like to work from to add to your travel journal. This workshop will allow you to learn about ink and watercolor and drawing techniques, materials, ideas and strategies to travel journaling and will give plenty of time to work on your journal.
