Description: Line & Wash Watercolor combines the expressive qualities of pen and ink with the fluid beauty of watercolor. In this class, students will begin with a pencil sketch, build confidence through loose ink work, and then bring their piece to life with watercolor. We’ll finish with additional ink details to enhance depth and character.

This class emphasizes a relaxed, free-flowing approach rather than tight, meticulous rendering—making it an ideal introduction for beginners or anyone looking to loosen up their style.

Supplies: All supplies are provided … just bring your creativity!

Description: Our perception of the visual world is dependent on light. In order to learn to paint life convincingly, one must learn how to translate into paint the light that falls upon the things we see. This workshop will focus on painting directly from life and realizing the visual effect early in the painting process, avoiding preliminary drawing. This keeps interest and energy throughout the process and conveys a sense of life and joy in the painting. Students will explore color, value, paint quality, edges, and brushstrokes in oil paint. Each morning, there will be a demonstration, and students will design their still-life setups using the provided objects, fruit, and flowers. Students may bring their own objects if they wish.  This class is appropriate for intermediate to advanced levels.

Description: Join us to learn to represent a three-dimensional form on a two-dimensional surface using color. Students learn to see the colors of the visible world in a different way than humans have been conditioned to see. They will practice seeing as the painter does by perceiving, mixing, and arranging colors to create a vibrant, light-filled image that also conveys depth and solidity. Using simple objects as models, this method brings new life and beauty to ordinary objects and expands the mind toward greater creativity and expression. We will begin with a demonstration of the method and some color mixing exercises. This class is for all levels, especially beginners. All materials are provided. The work is done in oils, but the content applies to all painting media. The course is suitable for students ages 15 and up.

Description: Make vibrant paintings with or without a brush! Artists of all skill levels will use inks and acrylics to create beautiful, colorful works of art. The focus is on experimentation, COLOR and DESIGN, in representational or abstract art. Participants will dye and stain art tissue and rice paper to create one-of-a-kind, vibrant papers. Artists will then incorporate these papers into their design or image, sometimes adding surface painting. Uncolored papers may also be collaged to panels, and paint applied later for unique textural effects. The possibilities are endless!

Most papers and materials will be provided and are included in the class fee. Students will purchase a few materials; this list will be provided.

Supplies: Most supplies are provided. We will send a short list of materials to purchase before class. Please contact kara@artcentergreenville.org with questions.
