“Watercolor Anarchy”
Feb. 29th, 10am-1pm
Instructor: Gail Bracegirdle
Price: $25
Once titled “Watercolor Independent Study”, this supportive and inclusive group quickly evolved and became known as “Watercolor Anarchy”. Set up a still life, use your photos for inspiration – or – experiment with artistic ideas from your inner being. Work with basic watercolors, textured papers, collage, monoprints or layering and enjoy the flow of watercolor in a supportive and creative group setting. Each week the class finishes with a group critique that the “Anarchists” call ‘show & tell’.
