Art Flow: An Abstract Approach to Watermedia
Great news! You can take the drab out of winter. Even better—there’s a fun way to do it! It’s called watermedia, an exciting and creative way to add dazzling color to your winter. Let the good times flow by joining artist and author Judith CasselMamet for this virtual art workshop brimming with ways to dive into your own artistic bliss. Follow along as Cassel-Mamet shows you how to spray water on inks, splash pigments on paper and make marks with cool and unusual tools.
Before you know it, you’ll have abstract art powerful enough to wow yourself, as well as your friends and family. Cassel-Mamet keeps it simple and easy with materials you likely already have on hand: watercolors, pens, sticks and ink—along with a few more items you’re sure to enjoy exploring. Turn your winter into a true wonderland of flowing colors and amazing art.
Nature Journaling: Sketching the Spring Season
Is anything more soothing to your soul than wandering around nature? Possibly. How about wandering around nature while journaling? You could reach a whole new level of relaxation. Aptly named, nature journaling is a time-honored pursuit that encourages small sketches and recordings of moments—think of it as your very own poetry of place. The goal? To capture the transforming experience of communing with nature with zero pressure to create a perfect, scientific representation of objects—this is not botanic illustration. Join artist and author Judith Cassel-Mamet as she helps you explore ways to record your playful and pleasing moments in nature. Learn how to fill your pages via the “be, see, then sketch” approach. Discover how to draw complicated shapes, work with contour lines and add color. As soon as you register, you’ll get a suggested list of materials such as an art journal, a small watercolor kit, pens and a few other fun items. Cassel-Mamet says no experience in sketching or painting is required. Enroll, journal and enjoy!
