Ink and watercolor: a match made in heaven!

We'll begin with markmaking techniques with waterproof ink, followed by a brief introduction to watercolor medium. Then, we'll choose references from life (or bring in your own reference image) to take what you've learned and render your own 8x10" illustration.

Students will walk away with a better understanding of ink, watercolor, and how those mediums play together--as well as all the skills you need to continue creating your own dynamic illustrations!

This class is a great follow-up to Maxx's Inking class or to any of Max M's watercolor classes, but no previous experience is required. This class is recommended for students 12 and up.

RJ Jordan (she/him) is a speculative author and artist telling stories about the natural world and exploring alien ones. She is a watercolor artist, illustrator, science writer, and experimenter.

Paint along with Maxx FG as you create a monochromatic landscape on canvas with acrylic paint.

If you are looking to boost your acrylic skills or understanding of value (vs color) this class is for you! You'll use a variety of brushes and palette knives and learn foundations of value to create your own landscape painting.

All materials are provided. You are welcome to bring your own reference photos, but we will also have plenty of options to choose from.

Maxx FG (she/her) was inspired one night while riding along with her in-laws through the New Mexico desert with only the full moon and the car's headlights to illuminate the landscape. No colors were distinguishable, but the values were so easy to see! When she got back to Seattle, she created this workshop and is bringing it back after 5 years.
