Unexpected Journeys - Fantasy Storytelling in Watercolor with artist-in-residence Aly Parrott

Great stories come from the most unexpected places; a walk on a summer night, watching a cool breeze hitting a field of wildflowers in just the right way; a conversation with a stranger on the bus; a game session with old friends; a wash of colors that brings to mind the essence of a character living solely in an artists’ imagination. In this class, makers will learn to use various watercolor techniques, as well as color theory to bring to life the essence of a story they wish to tell. They will be encouraged to experiment with the medium and to try unique and uncharted color combinations.

This is the perfect workshop for writers, lovers of fantasy, and character art. Supplies…
