Whimsical Watercolors 101 with Orion Fern

  • DENTON MAKER CENTER 728 North Elm Street Denton, TX, 76201 United States (map)

Mystified by the wondrous appeal of watercolor fantasy art? Come join Orion Fern, artist of ‘THE FOX WHO BECAME A GIRL’ as he teaches you the absolute basics of using the magical Gansai Tambi Japanese watercolors to craft a whimsical nature world and scene. Learn how to plan your landscape with a background, middle ground, and foreground fit for a little creature, character or animal of your choice within it. While we wait for your piece to dry between stages, we’ll share some fun techniques that feel like science experiments all possible with watercolor, salt, straws, sponges, paper towels and more! Small, framed paintings make wonderful gifts to friends or family. Provided at the end of this 3 hour class and workshop will be fun varied 5” x 7” frames for you to choose from and present your artwork within! Also this includes a 6 color Gansai Tambi watercolor set with brush and ink pen you get to take home!  Please bring 1 cup for your water. Everything else will be provided. Please wear paint clothes also! Do not wear anything you worry about getting paint on. We will be learning a splatter technique so wearing paint clothes is best. 😊
