We are pleased to have nationally recognized artist Matthew Bird, a prize winning artist, teacher of workshops, demonstrator, and Signature member of the National Watercolor Society and the Baltimore Watercolor Society present 

'After the Painting is finished'

Once the Painting is Finished

You have now completed your masterpiece, what’s next? This one day workshop will focus on how to varnish a watercolor painted on paper, including mounting it to a panel. Framing for a juried exhibition vs. a gallery show will be discussed, along with tips on how to best photograph, package and ship your work safely. This is the perfect workshop for any artist who is looking to start displaying their work, submit to galleries or juried shows, or just interested in preserving their works of art. Finishing is just the beginning! 

(Due to the length of time each stage of the process takes to dry, Matthew won’t be able to do one example from start to finish. Instead he will bring various stages for each step of the process and do the demos that way.
