Saturday, July 18, 11:00am - 12:30pm PT This is an online workshop held via Zoom. Mother Nature continues to be one of our best muses! Butterflies have been a popular motif historically in art and design, perhaps for their fleeting beauty and fragility, and watercolour is the perfect medium to explore their iridescent wings. In this session we’ll be studying butterflies & moths and observing their wide range of patterns and textures - their symmetry allows for repetition and practicing techniques.

Ever stood in front of a painting wishing you had your paints with you? This workshop was born from exactly that feeling. We'll use projected abstract artworks as our reference and build a color map together -- a kind of paint-by-numbers where the "numbers" are your own personal notes about the colors you see.

Our ultimate blended brown! Cocoa is a careful mix of 6 (!!) of our core collection colors—the most out of all our blends, with Lime and Ruby in close second. Compared to Burnt Umber Dark and Reddish—both beautiful, single origin earth pigments that lend texture and transparency—Cocoa is a smooth, opaque alternative with a lovely ultra-matte finish. The cool thing about Cocoa is that the colors used to make this blend include two different reds, two yellows, and two blues! The fact that mixing the three primaries together creates an unlimited amount of neutrals never ceases to amaze us!
