Woodcut Watercolor Printmaking is a unique and enjoyable art form and this workshop is a great starting place for those who are new to watercolor and the perfect place for those with experience to broaden their skill range. Although one can produce realistic imagery, this process makes it quite easy to explore abstract designs. The focus of this workshop will be learning and practicing the creative process through printmaking. Creativity enhances every aspect of our lives by providing more meaningful and rich experiences. The creative process is accompanied by both uncertainty and courage, disappointments and pleasant surprises, spontaneity, and often a good deal of laughter. Previous students have shared how much they loved the class and appreciated the focus on the creative process. They also expressed their joy in having a place and time to work on an art project with other creative people in the room. “It’s like being in art school again!” was a common theme. (Check out woodcut watercolor prints on google images or my website www.chrisnewcombart.com ). There is an additional materials fee, payable directly to the instructor at class. Please see website for details and supply list.
