Summer Art Camp: Watercolor Journaling 101

Learn basic technique for creating a journal in watercolor with Michelle Kunze. Students will pick their subject and learn different techniques on starting a journal. From prepping the base layer, markmaking, composition, color, painting techniques and mixing mediums.

Students should bring 10-15 photos, copies or magazine cut outs of the subject/theme they want to put in their journal for reference. All other materials, including a watercolor journal students will be able to keep, will be provided.

COVID-19 Considerations:

Classes will be held outdoors - weather permitting - under a tent with 6 feet between tables. Students will be seated on either ends of the tables - 6 feet apart. If class has to be held inside, we will make sure students can be six feet apart. Class capacity will be limited to 6 students. Each student will have their own supplies that will be sanitized before class. Students should wear masks and abide by social distancing mandates.
