October 30 & Nov 13 & 20: Watercolor Journaling with Jim Mahla

3 Saturdays: October 30 and November 13 & 20, from 9:30 am - 12:30 pm

• $100 per participant
• Adults and teens welcome!

This workshop with Jim will focus on how to develop a watercolor journal for traveling or simply painting “En Plein Air”. You will begin with some studio time learning various watercolor techniques and then possibly move onto location. Beginners will be welcome in this no critique class.

He will show you, step by step, the pen and ink stages and on to laying in transparent watercolor washes in local colors or those of your imagination. You will see examples of his sketches from his travels and also examples of other sketchers from around the world. He has found watercolor journals to be a great way to capture more images in a short period of time. 

Supplies:

• All required watercolor materials will be provided for an additional $20 fee paid directly to the instructor on the first day of the class.
• The student will receive to use in class and keep: 1 brush, 1 spiral bound 35 page journal book (14# paper), 1 sketch (India ink) pen, spray bottle, water container. 
• Included in this $20 supply fee, the instructor will also provide a pallet and supply enough watercolor paint for the class time. Pallet is returned to the teacher at the end of class.

This class will meet at ArtsAlive, 200 High Street in downtown Chestertown (next to the RiverArts Clay Studio & across from Evergrain Bakery).
