Description: In this workshop participants will learn how to use the wet on wet watercolor technique to paint a soft and moody sky, reminiscent of the beautiful Sonoran Desert sunsets. Participants will practice the painting techniques and experiment with various color combinations. I will provide participants with color theory handouts and a curated paint palette to create a harmonious design. Once they have chosen the colors for the sky, they will have the option to draw the mountains, Saguaros, and the sun, or choose an already drawn outline to paint in. Participants will be painting on miniature pieces
of Arches cold press paper, with hand torn deckled edges that invoke a rustic and romantic feeling. They will start by painting the sky and mountains wet on wet, and work on two paintings at the same time so that there is adequate time to let these elements dry. Once the sky and mountains in each painting dries, participants will paint the Saguaros. The last step is to paint the golden sun with iridescent and highly pigmented watercolors. Everyone will take two miniature floating frames with them to display their new creations.
