If you are familiar with the basic watercolor skills, and would like to learn some new techniques, this Tower Hill Botanic Garden workshop on Thursday, January 19 from 6:30 – 9 will show you how to paint using the unique properties of water to achieve an abstract landscape. With instructor Susan Dinion, you will explore wet into wet technique, color interactions, and water saturation effects, and look at how the painting changes as it dries. Students should come with a basic set of watercolor paints (any set will work, but better quality paints will give you better results), brushes, and several sheets of 150# to 300# watercolor paper. You will do multiple, small (5×7) landscapes, and time permitting, a larger landscape. You may register online at www.towerhillbg.org. THBG member price is $30, nonmember $35. Painting below by Pat Roberts, mother and student of Susan Dinion.
