Where: Johnston Public Library Join us for an exploratory session of new media techniques. Art masking fluid combined with watercolor can produce interesting backgrounds and wonderful lettering effects. A few simple steps can result in bright whites or awesome layers of color. Art masking fluid and watercolor paper will be provided. Additional supplies you may want to bring include paintbrushes and wooden “writing tools” (like popsicle sticks or toothpicks). You will need to bring your own watercolor paints (a basic child’s palette will work fine for this exercise). |

Foundational and Flourishing This class is for both introductory as well as intermediate students. Beginners focus on the basic foundational alphabet while intermediate students can apply foundational lettering to projects suitable for framing. The basics of flourishing are covered and students combine traditional calligraphy techniques with contemporary designs. Flourishing is done with pens, pencils, and brushes.
