Do you feel like you have stalled in your watercolor painting? Do your paintings lack excitement and interest? Would you like to learn more about color and design? Then this may be the class that takes you to a new level! Get out of your rut, and try new ideas and techniques in watercolor. You choose your subject matter, and let Peg show you how to paint it in new, more interesting ways! This class is for those with some experience in basic watercolor techniques. Classes will include demonstrations, homework assignments, and critiques. Peg will send you a link to the Zoom class, and you will just click on it to join the class.

Make Your Watercolors Sparkle by Using the White of the Paper: a Saturday workshop in the Beverley Street Studios
with Beverley Street Studio School
Date: Saturday, March 6, 2021
Time: 10-3
Skill Level: Beginner to advanced, age 13+
Location: VanDerVeer and Echols studios, Beverley Street Studio Schools
Tuition: Members $90; Non-members $120
Registration: Register online at www.bssschool.org, or email: director@bssschool.org. A materials list will be sent to you. You may call to register at (540)886-8636, but office hours are limited. Class size will be limited, and social distancing and mask wearing will be required. Do not attend if you do not feel well. This workshop is expected to fill early. Register by February 27. A materials list will be available.
We seldom learn about one of the most important aspects of painting in watercolor: designing paintings that use the white of the paper. Yet this skill can help your paintings have a better range of values, and a real “WOW” factor! When whites are prominent in a watercolor painting, the painting can have a contemporary, and often peaceful, look. Peg will show you how to plan your painting, using a small value sketch. She will discuss designing paintings by “weaving” whites into the design. She will demonstrate various ways to “save” the white of the paper. You will choose the subject matter you would like to paint. Peg will offer demonstrations, a color worksheet, and individual help. Most students will complete two small paintings during this class.
Watch for...
Plein Air Painting in Watercolor, coming in June!
Don't believe the myth that watercolor painting is too hard, and mistakes are forever! I will show you the techniques you need to paint, and how to fix mistakes. You will be surprised how quickly you improve, with good instruction!
My classes fill up quickly, so don't wait. Keep checking my website, as classes will be added.
Comments from my last workshop:
- "Couldn't have been better. The individual help, combined with open and friendly class instruction, made the experience top-notch."
- "Peg's classes are always fun. Come ready to learn, and leave as a better paint!"
