Location: Haliburton School of the Arts
To Register: (705) 457-1680
Website: www.HaliburtonSchoolofTheArts.ca

This exciting, process-oriented, course is for developing artists who are ready to break free and explore new directions in watercolour painting and self-expression. You will be encouraged to loosen up and explore the interesting effects and textures created by combining watercolour with various mixed media, such as water-soluble crayons, oil pastels, collage materials (tissue, oriental rice papers, old watercolour paintings to recycle and resurrect), black ink, wax and gouache.

Using still life, landscape and non-objective subject matter, you will be inspired to move beyond pure representation to personal expression and abstraction. Composition and design will be addressed.

Teaching methodology will include demonstrations, group sharing, individual attention and critique. Creativity, fun, and individual uniqueness will be emphasized. There will be a material fee of $10 payable to the instructor.
