Presented by Sally Steinwachs - "Watercolor Painting on Various Types of Paper & Use of Watercolor Ground"
Please bring an apron, a couple of old rags, your favorite paint brushes, a container for water, a spray bottle if you have one, and white plates or small bowls. You will be working alongside her. Paints, paper and a supply of brushes, and plates for use as a palette will be provided. Sally will bring a still-life set up, tubes of Daniel Smith watercolor paints and a few different kinds of paper with which to experiment. She plans to put watercolor ground on some surfaces ahead of time so it can dry and you can use it as another surface on which to experiment. She encourages you to use the watercolor ground that day and paint at home (it takes a while to dry). Important - If you wish to attend, please phone the library ahead of time to register, 585-336-6060 or click here to register online. |
