SUMMARY:Watercolor for Beginners: Spring Petals
DESCRIPTION:Watercolor for Beginners: Spring Petals\nwith Dayna Walton \nFriday\, June 12  |  10 – 2pm \nREGISTER HERE \nJoin Dayna Walton of Solstice Handmade to learn watercolor methods to capture the many colors and forms of spring petals. We will start with a brief technique warmup\, practicing value\, stroke\, and blending. Then we will dive into color mixing\, practicing creating vivid shades found in spring blooms from just 3 primary colors. For the last half of class\, students will paint provided wildflowers from life\, practicing sketching flower forms\, color matching hues\, and lifelike values. While we paint\, we will learn how to identify common spring wildflowers currently blooming at the arboretum. This workshop is suitable for painters of all experience levels\, all supplies will be provided for use during class. \nDayna Walton came to love WNC through the Artist-in-Residence program of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in 2019. Since then\, she’s been hiking and sketching and learning about ecology wherever she can. Her illustrations are her way of studying the creepy\, crawly\, tiny\, often overlooked parts of nature. From slime molds and stoneflies\, to lichens and liverworts\, you’re sure to recognize some species from the Blue Ridge Mountains in her work. \n\nMembers: Remember to enter your promo code upon checkout to receive your 10% member discount!
