Mask and Pour Watercolor Workshop
Sunday, October 26, 1:00 to 4:00 PM
Led by Brenda Blank
Learn a new watercolor painting technique using masking fluid and little brushwork. Paint is
applied in layers by pouring, flicking, squirting or dropping the pigments onto wet paper. This
creates an organic flow of colors as they flow and blend into each other. The end result is
always unique, having almost a block print appearance.
Students will learn how to convert reference photos into Notan format and then transfer them to
watercolor paper. Determining color values and how to mask will be discussed and
demonstrated. Students will provide their own materials. Instructor will have 300# watercolor paper on
hand to purchase. Students should have a basic knowledge of the watercolor medium before
taking this class.
Materials list (a more detailed description of each item will be provided when you sign up for the class):
- Professional watercolor paints
- Brushes
- Professional watercolor paper
- Cheap brushes or other tools for masking fluid.
- At least one board
- Graphite paper
- Creative Mark Flow Expressions Bottles – 3
- Spray bottles
- Masking fluid
- 2 water containers – I use pint size plastic containers
- Paper towels
- Drawing supplies
- Masking tape
