Liz Walker—Suminagashi Paper Marbling Workshop
Monday, December 3, 10:00 am–2:30 pm
Explore this fascinating Japanese paper marbling technique using water-based boku inks floated on plain tap water in a shallow tray. The name suminagashi literally means spilled ink. Learn how to create intricate marbled papers using sumi inks dropped from small paintbrushes into a tray of water and printed on rice paper. Patterns and special colorful effects are achieved using a bamboo stylus and eyedroppers. This process is meditative, mesmerizing, and creates subtle, found-in-nature patterns and rings that are one-of-a-kind. We will create dozens of marbled rice papers which can be later used to collage onto heavier paper and developed further.
Leslie Boyce—Brave Color!
Tuesdays, January 15, 22, 29, February 12, 19, 26, 12 noon–2:30 pm
Learn to mix watercolor with confidence in this six-week course! We’ll unravel the mysteries of color theory, transparency/opacity, granulation and staining pigments. We will learn how to mix luminous color instead of mud, vibrant grays, shades and blacks with limited and split-primary palettes. We’ll study value, intensity and color bias, and spend much of our class time making reference charts and color wheels which will be a great resource long after the class ends. We will put our color smarts to work through practice painting projects between classes.
