Make your vacation photos into works of art at Watercolor Travel Journal on Friday through Sunday, Aug. 22-24 from 1 to 5 p.m. in the Greenhouse Auditorium.
Instructor Deb Marett will teach the basics of watercolor painting, drawing skills and putting a layout together to create pages in journals that capture memories and turn them into a cherished keepsake that can be expanded.
On the first day, students will experiment on practice paper, focusing on how to break down images into simple shapes, the principles of watercolor, painting light to dark, mixing colors, handling brushes and other basics.
The second day, students will put together a page layout with thumbnail sketches and create pages in their journals, as well as a painted page.
On the third day, students will continue painting their journals, go outside and paint on location, and learn some basics of plein air painting.
