Beginner to Advanced

This workshop will begin with exercises on various papers and other grounds, utilizing numerous techniques.  Participants may bring reference photos and/or sketches.  The focus will then be on creating paintings in both transparent and opaque watercolor (gouache), using the surface best suited to each individual’s conception, whether representational or non-representational.

Joan has experimented on a variety of different types of painting surfaces.  She has mastered a multitude of effects that can be achieved that are dependent upon the texture and degree of absorbency.  Her own work, shows a delightful balance between fine representational drawing and improvisational abstract presentation
