Join Big Island artist, Patti Pease Johnson for the Experimental Watercolors workshop on Saturday, March 17, from 12:00pm – 3:30pm at Volcano Art Center.
Imagine glass being shattered. The random shapes and patterns are totally unpredictable. Now take these haphazard glass pieces and marry them with watercolors; then add your own playful attitude. This is Experimental Watercolors! Like music on paper, colors flow in delicate waves.
Each student will create three to five separate 8×8 inch watercolor paintings on cold press watercolor paper using pre-broken glass as a catalyst to spark creativity. Students will also be taught theories of good composition, along with color theory and color wheel use.
Abstract qualities are the focus in this workshop using three – four paints right out of the tube with the glass. After the first drying and glass removal, each piece is brought to further expressiveness by using detailed watercolor techniques of washes, spatters, lifting, value gradations, dry brush and more.
Cost for the workshop is $50 and $45 for VAC Members (plus a $10 supply fee per person.) Beginner and intermediate artists are welcome.
This workshop is canceled.

Hi I’m interested in the Saturday 3/17 class. I might not be able to attend because I work the night before(possibly, I’m on-call). I was wondering if it would be possible to pay that day, if there is room for another student? Thank you
Aloha Barbara,
Although we normally require payment in advance, if the class is not full by Friday, 3/16, we can accept payment on the day of class, 3/17.
Mahalo!
