Finnriver Craft Course: Free-Flowing Watercolors

Class Description:

This class will focus on the 'Wet on Wet' painting style (meaning you are painting watercolors on an already wet piece of paper).

This style of painting is exploratory and playful and available to anyone who can hold a paint brush! The results are ethereal and have soft, formless beauty. Students will learn how to mix the watercolors to the right consistency, prepare their paper and some basic painting techniques. We will do several paintings, giving students the opportunity to explore and expand as they go. While the teacher will demonstrate and discuss technique this is not a step by step class where everyone ends with the same result. The class will include a walk through the orchard before we start, to immerse ourselves in the vibrant colors of nature to get inspiration.

Students will be mailed their work a few days later after it has dried.

Course Format/Location:

Finnriver's mission is to grow community and help inspire a deeper connection to the land that sustains us.

Biography of Instructor:

Katie Boyle is a painter, teacher of young children, and cider lover. She studied painting and fine arts at UC Santa Cruz. This love for the arts led her to become a Waldorf teacher, which allows her to watercolor paint weekly with her students! She lives in Chimacum and is inspired by both the physical beauty of the land and the warmth of the community here.
