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.

Case for Making CfM Mop Brushes
Mop brushes are naturally fluffy and soft—wonderful for creating light washes or calligraphy script. The bristles puff out a bit, which lends toward beautifully varied brush strokes. They're also handy for lifting a good amount of water when making premixtures! Our premium quality brushes have coated wood handles labeled with our classic gold lettering, and synthetic bristles that fit into a metal ferrule. Imported from Germany. NOTE: please keep the plastic and metal wire wrapping ON! Removing this will ruin the brush, as the wrapping holds the brush hairs together!

Case for Making Dorothy Hood’s Abstract Painting with Erin McCluskey Wheeler
Thursday, July 30, 5:00pm - 6:30pm PT This is an online workshop held via Zoom. Dorothy Hood was born in 1918 and spent her life in both Mexico and Texas. Her large abstract paintings are full of hard and soft edges, moments where the paint pools and gathers and places where the paint makes crisp lines and angles. Her colors are bold and inspired by the full range of colors found in both Mexico and Texas. With watercolors, we will play with some of Dorothy’s shapes by creating hard edges with tape, letting the watercolors be soft and blend, and create dynamic shapes with layered colors.
