Lesson 1: Watercolor Backgrounds & Mark-Making

We will start off by using watercolor to create backgrounds for a base for eventual illustrations.  Play with color, relax into the process, pick the colors you LIKE, the colors that speak to you intuitively. Use rubbing alcohol to create whimsical texture and amorphous shapes.

Lesson 2: Inking Techniques

In Lesson 2 we will spend time in our sketchbooks with just pen and ink and practice different types of illustration techniques such as hatching, stippling, scribbling, varying line thickness and depth.  This will be a time to settle into a more meditative activity.

Lesson 4: Start Bigger Painting

Now we’ll go bigger! Apply watercolor with big and expressive strokes, avoid overworking the paint. Add your rubbing alcohol and experiment with more mark-making with your brush. Again, the hand mirror is your best friend here. Then, start inking!

Lesson 5: Mixed-Media Finishes

Today we will look at all three paintings with fresh eyes, adding details, depth and integrating collage elements and other media to your pieces. At the end you will complete two small and one larger illustrations.
