We are pleased to have nationally recognized artist April Rimpo. She is a prize-winning artist, teacher, demonstrator, juror, and Signature member of six National Watercolor Societies, the International Society of Acrylic Painters, and the International Society of Experimental Artists. Her acrylic and watercolor paintings have appeared in three North Light Best of Acrylic books and in two Best of Watercolor book, Splash 19, and the Splash 21 publication.
In this 4-day virtual workshop we’ll focus on creating a painting on Aquabord. This surface has some properties like working on watercolor paper but other properties that lean toward working on more slick surfaces.
Learn how to work with watercolor washes to produce small vibrant paintings. Reference materials and instructions on preparing the Aquabord prior to the class will be supplied and mailed about 1 month prior to the workshop along with two Aquabord panels and a frame.
There will be a step by-step instruction demonstrations, and one-on-one interaction during the class. Knowledge of basic watercolor is helpful.
Provided by BWS:
These will be sent to all registered at BWS's expense.
