Crazy Chickens Watercolor Class, Friday August 7th, 1pm EDT with Miriam Hughes

Watercolor painting is not hard when you are creating Crazy Chickens! Miriam will unleash your wild side, ruffle some feathers and have you avoiding frustration and despair as you learn about mixing colors with a new approach.
In this class you will learn how to mix colors both on your palette, and on the watercolor paper. Letting the colors flow and mix with one another on the page are parts of the magic of this workshop.

We will be painting wild chickens without drawing them first. It sounds frightening to begin without a drawing, however that is the magic of the class. The freedom of using a either a #10 or #12 round watercolor brush forces you stay loose with your brush strokes and avoid using the brush as a drawing tool.
After the colors are placed, we will return with black ink and highlight the value changes in your work. It looks initially as if you are outlining your painting and you will discover the magic of seeing and creating shapes evoking the energy of your chickens. I call it “in-lining”. Understanding the importance of white space, the value of your own unique marks and allowing yourself to remain loose and having fun while learning are goals of this class.

We will meet live on Zoom the week of this classes and focus on learning how to use the brush, mix colors from three colors and enhance your work in ink.There is a fee for individuals and one for a family. Once you pay, you will be emailed an invitation for the Zoom classes, typically within 24 hrs. of purchase. This will be a separate email from the order confirmation that you will receive immediately after purchase.
