Exploring Florals with Watercolor One-Day Workshop
Sunday, September 20th from 9:00AM-4:00PM
Learn to create paintings inspired by flowers and nature. We will work with cut flowers and learn how to draw and compose our pieces. Then we will explore how different watercolor techniques, such as color mixing, wet on wet, wet on dry, glazing and detail work, can be used to bring them to life. Beginners welcome!
$125 workshop fee does not include materials. There is a materials fee of $15, payable to the instructor by Venmo or cash on the day of the workshop, or you can bring your own materials. If you would like to bring your own materials, see the list shown below the instructor bio.
We will have an hour break for lunch midday. The studio will be closed during this break, but there are nearby parks where you can eat lunch if you brought your own, or you can check out one of the local restaurants in the area.
About the instructor: Audrey Robidoux is an artist and art teacher residing in Portland, Maine. She graduated from Maine College of Art & Design in 2021 with a Masters in Art Education, as well as in 2019 with a Bachelors of Fine Arts in Painting and a minor in Art History. She chooses to work in the medium of watercolor as a nod to botanical illustrations, and due to the technical challenge of it, the puzzle involved to create such a complex piece with layers and fine detail.
