Case for Making Color Mix & Match with Alexis Joseph
Thursday, June 25, 5:00pm - 6:30pm PT This is an online workshop held via Zoom. What if understanding how watercolor is made completely changed how you use it? In this watercolor primer, CfM founder Alexis Joseph starts at the very beginning -- demonstrating how a batch of watercolor paint is made from pure pigment. Once you understand the material, everything else starts to click into place. From there, we'll build together: color wheel, basic brush handling, color mixing, and a series of color charts where you'll practice creating gradations of tints and shades to keep as reference.

TUESDAY, JUNE 30, 6:30pm - 8:30pm PT This is an in-person workshop at CfM Art Room: 4035 Judah St, San Francisco, next door to our shop! Botanical illustration has a long and storied history, but it often seems inaccessible, since it's so often framed in terms of accuracy or fidelity. But we've been illustrating our relationship to our environment for as long as we've been human (or arguably even before that) – and for most of that time, it wasn't about technical perfection.
