In this two week workshop, you will explore how watercolors react to different surfaces. We'll start the workshop by learning how to mount watercolor paper to wooden cradleboards. Then, we'll paint a full moon scene using watercolors on Aquabord. Aquabord is a textured clay surface on a hard board. Watercolor artists love Aquabord for its ability to endlessly lift color, fix mistakes, and layer to your heart's content! You'll be able to compare the differences in dry times, lifting, and layering between the two surfaces. Which surface will be your favorite?
