Water Media with Marie Gamon


  • Hershey Area Art Association PO Box 654 Hershey, PA 17033-654 USA (map)

The Focus will be on watercolor paints, how to get started, different ways to use watercolor, some tricks to make watercolor do what you want it to do, and I will introduce how you can use acrylic paints as watercolor. We will take a look at different types of brushes and papers and mediums.  We will focus on watercolor techniques.  This class is for both beginners and people with experience, who want to get more out of their paints!  And of course, we will cover color theory, composition, and drawing techniques (as needed) and answer your questions.  This class will be student focused, so come with your questions and art dilemmas.  We can work it out!
