Let's Experiment
with Kat Manton-Jones

4-week class, from 1 pm to 4 pm on
Sundays, Mar 9, 16, 23, and 30
Fee is $165, 4-week, 3-hour sessions

 

Have you ever wondered what makes art experimental? Would you like to learn experimental techniques using collage, watercolor, and Yupo (a plastic substrate)? Time to find out what you can do to expand your repertoire of watercolor techniques on paper and Yupo. This course welcomes artists who are curious about painting intuitively. Through this four-week course, you will practice letting go of expectations and create experimental art. You will be guided through the process of creativity exercises, making collage and watercolor “starts,” adding/subtracting layers and texture until the pieces are resolved. Each week we will explore different techniques to launch into experimentation. Prepare yourself for play!

Space is limited; advanced registration is required.

To register and pay, contact Kat Manton-Jones directly, katmantonjones@gmail.com, or 520-822-6732.
